Took Unwanted 72 After Intercourse. Missing Periods. What Should I Do?
Question: hi i used to get periods regularly on 15th of every month and this month i was delayed and i had sex and used unwanted 72 and delayed of periods and after 3 days iam using modus to get periods can i use that, can i get periods
Hello,
Firstly, a delay in period may occur due to any cause like taking hormonal contraceptive pills, pregnancy ( most common cause).
So, first you have to exclude presence of pregnancy. Though you have a history of taking unwanted 72, pregnancy may be a complicating condition.
One more thing is, if the cause is taking unwanted 72 then you could wait for few more days for spontaneous menstruation without taking the drug.
Though you have started the drug, you must do a home pregnancy test to confirm that you are not pregnant. Because the drug you are taking is contraindicated in pregnancy.
So, if the test becomes positive then stop the drug immediately.
But if the test becomes negative you can continue the drug for 7 days and then wait for few more days, so that you can have your periods.
If menstruation does not occur in that period then, you should consult with gynecologist for further management.
Summary - If you are not pregnant, you can continue the drug and you can have your period.
Let me know, if you have any more question.
Regards.
