What Causes Nausea And Abdominal Pain Despite Taking Unwanted-72 After Sex?
My wife took freedom 72 just four hours after having unprotected sex (It was around her 10th day of her menstrual cycle). She faced nausea and severe stomach ache ache the preceding week. And exactly one week later (around 16th day of her menstrual cycle), she got her periods which is totally irregular from her menstrual cycle. Now it s more than a month from that irregular period which she got on her 16th day but she didn t get her period. Is she pregnant? Or can we wait? She s 22 now and we have planned not to have a baby for at-least three years.

hi,
thanks for writing to us,
the emergency contraception have only 90./. chances of preventing pregnancy, 10./. chances are there that your wife can be pregnant, better get it confirmed by doing a simple urine pregnancy tests by the strip method which are available on counter, if its negative wait for 1 week and repeat it, if its still negative then take some progesterone 10mg medicine for 5 days and stop after which she may start with the periods with in 3 days of stopping the medicine, this is advised only if she is negative on pregnancy test, if its positive then consult a gynecologist,
take care
