Hello,
Thank you for posting a query.

You did not mention the gap between sexual intercourse and taking unwanted 72. You should provide it as a follow up question. It is important.

If the pill was taken within 24 to 48 hrs after the sexual act, then there is very little chance of pregnancy.

As you have taken the pill, which contains hormonal agents, the hormonal equilibrium of your body may get imbalanced. It can cause a delay in your period. But, at first, you have to exclude any chance of pregnancy. So, do a pregnancy test using urine at home.

If the pregnancy test is negative, then you just wait for period. It may be delayed for the reason I have mentioned. If you do not get your period within 7 days, you should visit a gynecologist.

Lastly, do a home pregnancy test and tell me the report as a follow up query.

Hope this information suffices.

Regards.

Hello,
Thank you for writing back.

So, you have taken the second pill within 24 hrs of intercourse. There is very little chance of pregnancy.

Still, do a home pregnancy test and let me know the result as a follow up query.

As I told previously, if it is negative the you have to wait. If the test is positive then you have to think about it. If you want abortion, then consult with gynecologist for prescribing abortive medicines like mifepristone.

Hello,
Thank you for writing back.

I can understand your concern. But you have to do a home pregnancy test first to rule out pregnancy.

The next step will be determined depending upon the result of home pregnancy test.

I have already told you what to do.
