General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
I understand your concern.
Unwanted 72 is advocated to prevent pregnancy , if taken within 72 hours of sex. You have taken it after 20 hours of sex- so it's within the prescribed hours & you should be protected.Though earlier it is taken, more are the chances of prevention of conception.
There are various causes for delay in your periods
- High hormone content of unwanted 72 tend to delay following period.
- your illness/ medications taken for fever,
- psychological stress you had all these days.
* I would suggest to get urine pregnancy test done to exclude pregnancy & be relaxed.The period will follow within few days.
Thanks.
