General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thans for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
What you have done is seems to be right by taking emergency contraceptive pill Unwanted 72 by 24 hours.
The pill should prevent pregnancy by causing withdrawal bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of its intake.
You may experience certain side effects in the form of vaginal discharge, abdominal cramps and nausea, which should subside gradually.
Kindly take urine pregnancy test and seek medical attention promptly if you do not get bleeding by 3 weeks.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
