Hi there!Let's have the facts straight. First, the 'pull out' method you plan to use is not a very effective way to prevent pregnancy. Second, before you use Unwanted 72 you'd do well to know that the pill is effective in about 95% cases when taken within 24 hrs and about 90% when taken within 72 hrs. of intercourse. One way of looking at that data is that 5-10% of cases will still get pregnant even after having used the pill in the prescribed manner. Whether that constitutes acceptable risk is for you to decide. Also do keep in mind the side effects your partner might have -nausea, vomiting, headache, abdominal pain, dizziness, fatigue,menstrual irregularity etc.
Armed with these facts you should be in now in a better position to exercise your choice. All the best!
