Had Unprotected Sex. Consumed Unwanted 72. Got Early Periods. What Can Be Done?
Thanks for posting your query.
The day 4 of your cycle is a relatively less fertile period and ovulation is not likely in a 28-day regular cycle. Since you took Unwanted 72 within 24 hours of having the sex, the chances of pregnancy are even lesser ( less than 1%).
The delay in your periods is a side effect of the emergency contraceptive pill. This delay can be related to stress and anxiety also. You need to wait for at least one week more for your periods to start spontaneously. To be double sure, you can test your urine for pregnancy using the kit available over the counter.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.

If your pregnancy test comes positive and you want an abortion with medicines then there are kits for abortion available which you can get on a doctor's prescription. It is best to use these kits under the expert guidance of a gynaecologist as such kits are often associated with complications like excessive bleeding and incomplete abortion. You will have to search a gynaecologist near your place for guidance.

-after taking first pill containing mifepristone, the next two tablets containing misoprostol should be taken after 24 hours generally.
-by this bleeding will start usually in 12 hours after the course and pregnancy will terminate within 24 hours.
This drug is to be taken under Medical Supervision as it can cause serious effects as nausea,vomitting,fever,pain and sometimes incomplete abortion can also occur causing the remnants to remain.
Mifepristone is recommended drug of choice for abortion under 7 weeks so please check with the local doctor and obtain prescription.
Also after taking these drugs a thorough evaluation and USG scan is recommended to check for complete evacuation of products.
Women also experience heavy bleeding after the drug and if uncontrolled it can lead to dizziness and fatigue. Please consider visiting a Gynaecologist for evaluation and then take it under her supervision.
