Brief Answer:
Do one blood test for beta-hCG. Review with report.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:

1) Taking Unwanted 72 (emergency pill) within first 24 hrs gives more than 95% protection against unwanted pregnancy. Here, chance of pregnancy is quite low.

2) You CAN'T get positive test within 4 days of sexual intercourse (if you are NOT pregnant from previous sexual act). There should be a minimum 2 to 4 weeks gap from last sex for validation of pregnancy test.

3) In this controversy of test result, I suggest you to undergo one blood test for beta-hCG to confirm or rule out possible pregnancy. Next course of treatment should be started after reviewing test report.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.

Wish your good health and take care.

For future query, you can directly approach me through

Brief Answer:
Do beta-hCG test at first.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

At first, you need to confirm pregnancy with above mentioned test (beta-hCG) for further course of treatment.

If test is negative, then period can be induced with progesterone pill and you will get your period within 3-5 days after stopping them.

If test is positive, then medical abortion should be done with abortion pill after consultation with local doctor or gynecologist.

In the mean time, I can suggest to take Pantop-DSR (1 Cap Once daily) for vomiting and stomach ache. Drink more fluid and take adequate rest.

Review with test report at the earliest. Good luck.
