Hello,

The patient’s next period may be early or delayed by 1 week after using unwanted 72. Patients without a period within 21 days of undergoing emergency contraception may be pregnant and should contact a gynecologist. Delayed periods is a common side effect of unwanted 72. You don't need to worry. If doubtful, you may take home pregnancy test.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,

No precaution taken at intercourse, if she had not taken unwanted 72 after the intercourse, it's likely that she may be pregnant. Please ask her to take home pregnancy kit if It had been more than 40 days since last period. If she had taken unwanted 72, then just wait for the period as this drug can cause irregularities in menstrual periods.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
