Brief Answer:
Pregnancy

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Do you mean you had bleeding on 12th Feb and 13th March, immediately after intercourse?

Did you mean you had Unwanted-72 on both the days after intercourse and still had bleeding on the same day?

Unwanted-72 can derange your period dates but it is effective in stopping pregnancy. Therefore, you may not be pregnant. However you can confirm that with a urine pregnancy test.

If you plan to have regular unprotected intercourse, please take alternative low hormone pills than emergency pill like Unwanted-72.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Choice

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

First confirm with a negative pregnancy test. Then only you can take low dose hormone pills. you can take Choice, one tablet daily at the same timing each day. However, first two months you can use another contraception like condom before Choice starts acting to prevent pregnancy.
