Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Unwanted 72 Pill Within 12 Hours?

Hi,
I had a sex with my wife on 14th Feb. After sex she took unwanted 72 in 12 hrs. After taking unwanted 72 she had a period in 6th day i.e 20th Feb which continues for 3 days. Her last period was on 7th Feb. Please suggest me, is there any change of pregnancy. Or should i wait for her next regular period to conclude.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Chances for pregnancy is very unlikely. Unwanted-72 is an effective contraceptive and failure rate is very low. You can go for a urine pregnancy test (UPT) for reassurance.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
