Had Partially Protected Sex. Taken Unwanted 72. No Periods. Pregnancy Chances?

I had sex with my bf on 9th september. The condom just leaked. I urinated soon after we realized it, and took unwanted 72 the next day. My periods should have come normally on 17th, last month i got them on 17th august. But its 19th and i still don t have my periods. Does unwanted 72 delay periods? Is there any chance of being pregnant? I am really worried.

Hello,

Unwanted 72 pill gives protection more than 95% within first 24hrs and around 85% within 24-48 hrs against unwanted pregnancy. Here, chance is quite low.

However, unwanted 72 pill can delay your period for 1-2 weeks due to hormonal imbalance and stress. It is better to undergo one home pregnancy test after one week waiting.

After that, you can consult with your doctor for next management. Practice safe sex in future. Good luck.
