Hi, I have gone through your question. Unwanted72 contains levonorgestrel which is a progesterone. If taken in conceptional period, it does not have any harmful effect on the foetus. There are noharmful or teratogenic effect of levonorgestrel seen in fetus in various studies done worldwide.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
