yes, unwanted 72 causes menstrual delay

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks For writing..
I understand your concern..

Unwanted 72 can cause delayed periods and menstrual irregularity..

Get a urine pregnancy test.. If negative you can wait for 1 more week for spontaneous onset of periods.. If still no bleeding you can take progesterone tablet to get withdrawal bleeding..

Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..

Get a urine pregnancy test.. If negative you can take progesterone tablet to get withdrawal bleeding.. If positive, within 7 weeks of pregnancy you can undergo medical abortion.. A doctor needs to be consulted prior to that.. Hope I have answered your query.. Good day..
