Suggest Medication For Bloating Of Stomach After Taking I-pill
Unprotected sex happened on the 16 th of June 2014, I took an unwanted 72 at the 50 th hour. I m expecting my period on the 5 th of July ie tomorrow around evening. But off late mt breasts have been sore and I ve been feeling bloated. Coukd this be an early sign of pregnancy? Or is it too soon to panic? Could it be because of the pill?

Hallow Dear,
You are absolutely right. It is not only too soon to panic, it is unnecessary to panic also.
Unwanted 72 is very effective emergency contraceptive pill when taken within 72 hours of the unprotected sexual intercourse. You have taken it within 50 hours. You are well protected.
Few days after these pills, usually little amount of bleeding occurs. This is normal and not an issue of concern. Moreover, following menses after these pills may get delayed by few days to a week.
These pills contain Progestational medicine; hence some gastritis can take place leading to temporary gaseous disturbances. Some antacid tablets will give you relief from this. Also due to progesterone, some heaviness in the breasts may be experienced.
Wait patiently and you will; get your menses, may be delayed by few days.
I hope this helps you to shirk off the stress.
