Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Unwanted 72 is an emergency contraceptive pill. It would prevent pregnancy by causing withdrawal bleeding within 3 weeks from the day it has been taken.
As per the bleeding, your periods date and schedule might change.
In case you do not experience bleeding similar to your periods by 3 weeks, you need to take a urine pregnancy test and seek medical attention promptly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
