Brief Answer:
Unwanted 72 causes hormonal imbalance
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic.I understand your concern.
Iam Dr.Srilatha gynaecologist.In my opinion the chances of pregnancy are rare in your case.
The unwanted 72 is effective in 95% of cases if taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.
As it was taken within stipulated time you need not worry.
Unwanted pill is a high dose progesterone which prevents the pregnancy at 3 different stages.
It causes hormonal imbalance leading to effect on timing and bleeding of the period.
So the period might come early or delayed and the bleeding can be scanty or heavy or irregular.
So the delay in period can be attributed to the unwanted pill.
The vaginal discharge seen might be physiological which is usually seen during the menstrual cycle every month.
I suggest you to wait upto a week to 10 days for spontaneous onset of period.
Overall the pregnancy chances are very rare.So relax and wait for the period.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss further.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha

Actually we had anal sex but she was worried that sperm went into her vagina also so she had taken unwanted 72 in doubt situation only. then what are the chances and what are side effects of unwanted 72 in this situation. please tell.
Brief Answer:
Anal intercourse does not lead to pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,goodday.I can understand your situation.
In my opinion there was no need of any emergency contraception like unwanted 72 as it was anal sex.
There are very very rare or nil chances of pregnancy with anal intercourse.
But anyways as it is already taken there might be sideeffects of unwanted pill like irregular bleeding or spotting,effecting the timing and bleeding of period,abdominal cramps,nausea etc.
Nothing to worry.The effect of unwanted pill persists for only one or two menstrual cycles.
I suggest you to restrict the usage of emergency contraception for real emergency situations and not for frequent use to avoid complications.
Wait and check for the period.Usually a urine pregnancy test is not needed as there is rarely any chance of pregnancy in your case.
But as you have asked I suggest you to do urine pregnancy test a week after missed period for accurate results.
Avoid stress as it also causes hormonal imbalance and might delay the period further.
So relax.Nothing to worry.
