Hello niky;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
Unwanted 72 is a emergency contraceptive pill and is a hormonal pill so you are sure to get withdrawal bleeding with in 3-7 days of taking the pill.The reason for bleeding is the sudden surge and drop in hormonal levels after taking the pill.The bleeding will be like periods and will stop in 4-5 days and if it does not stop then you have to consult a Gynaecologist.As for avoiding pregnancy if you have sex a few times a month then it is better for you to get started on a regular birth control pill as it will help you to avoid pregnancy as well as keep your periods regular.
Thanks
