What Causes Delay In Periods Inspite Of Taking Unwanted 72?

Hi & Welcome. I can understand your concern. Incomplete data like the expected date of next period following unprotected sex.
Taken within 72 hours of unprotected penetrative sex, emergency contraceptive pill lik Unwanted-72 is effective in preventing the pregnancy in only 85-90% of the users.
Delayed periods could be due to pregnancy, hormonal imbalance, stress, emotional upset or certain medical illness.
So, you are advised to get the pregnancy test done on an early morning urine sample. If the test is negative, consult a gynecologist for further evaluation which may need certain lab tests and drugs like Progesterone to induce period (bleeding).
Hope this answers your query.
