Should I Wait For Pregnancy Test After Taking Unwanted 72?
I had sex with my girl friend she is 18 and me 19.
But last time we had unprotected sex
But after that next morning we took a pregnency home test but it came negative
Still not taking a chance i gave her unwanted 72 at 66th hour .
But my girlfriends periods starts by thesedays. Only but this time she didnt but i read on internet that after eating unwanted we should wait for 1 week .
So my question is should we wait or do something else as we both dont want to take a chance so plz suggest us

Hello and welcome,
Please do not worry so much.
I would like to explain a few things here. A pregnancy test takes at least 3 weeks after unprotected sex to come positive.
Also unwanted 72 can be used only once in one menstrual cycle. If used repeatedly then it causes menstrual problems and may also not provide protection against pregnancy so it must not be used in this fashion.
As of now, since the unwanted 72 has been taken within 72 hours the chances of pregnancy are low. Please wait for 3 weeks. The periods will most likely come by then. If they are still absent, just get a pregnancy test done to rule out pregnancy. If it is negative you may wait further for 2-3 more weeks. In most women periods come by then.
So do not worry just wait now and then get the test done.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
