Hi,
Unwanted 72 is a high hormone-containing drug. It acts by postponing ovulation & the possibility of pregnancy.
After intake of the pills, the hormones leave the body within a week of intake&this causes withdrawal bleeding.
Your period on 8th seems to be such withdrawal bleeding after taking Unwanted 72 pills.
The following periods would be delayed by 8-10 days because of the hormonal imbalance caused by the pills.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
