Hello,

I can understand your concern. Emergency contraceptive pills prevent pregnancy by suddenly changing the hormonal levels in the body. Due to these changes, changes in menstrual cycles are observed.

As your friend got her periods on 21st February after taking Unwanted 72, her new menstrual cycle started on 21st February and she should expect periods of March based on this date.

I hope this answers your questions. Thank you for trusting HCM with your concern. Take care.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
