General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi & Welcome.

Unwanted-72 is 85% effective in preventing an unwanted pregnancy if taken as soon as possible but within 72 hours following an unprotected penetrative sex.

You seem to have developed side effects due to hormonal imbalance caused by high content of progesterone hormone present in the pill

You seem to have withdrawal bleeding after taking Unwanted 72

This pill can also cause irregular bleeding and your next period may occur early or it may be delayed by a week, so do not worry.

The bleeding usually stops in 2-3 days, if it does not stop consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and treatment,

Hope this answers your query.
