Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Unwanted 72 is emergency contraceptive pill.
It's effectiveness is 90%.
So there is still 10% chance of contraception failure with unwanted 72.
So better to first rule out pregnancy. So consult gynecologist and get done ultrasound examination of abdomen.
If this is normal then no need to worry for pregnancy.
Your symptoms are mostly due to viral infection.
But better to avoid unprotected Intercourse if you don't want pregnancy.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
