are there effects if she takes unwanted 72 more than twice in a week? does unwanted 72 work after the ovulation has taken? especially on 14th day of cycle?

Brief Answer: Kindly do not worry. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXX Thank you for the follow up questions... Coming back to your questions, are there effects if she takes unwanted 72 more than twice in a week? The contraceptive effect is not lost. But sometimes due to high progesterone effect there might be some irregularities in the future periods. does unwanted 72 work after the ovulation has taken? Yes they do work. Another mechanism of action of this pill is by preventing fertilization of an egg by affecting the cervical mucus or the ability of sperm to bind to the egg. So it is effective even after ovulation. Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!!
