Dear Sreeshah, Hi
I appreciate your concern for the delayed periods.
Delayed periods could be due to pregnancy.
Taken within 72 hours of unprotected penetrative sex, Unwanted-72 is effective in preventing the pregnancy in only 85-90% of the users.
So, you are advised to get the pregnancy test done on an early morning urine sample.
Hope this answers your query.
