Question : Hi, my gf (age 21) last periods end date was 28 april, we had sex on 2nd may, she has taken unwanted 72 on 4th may ( within 50 hours). She expected her normal periods to start on 28 may but still periods not start. I have taken pregnancy test about week ago (on 3rd June) it was negative, and Also tested today and its same as negative. I have used Prega news for testing. Is she pregnant ? what does delay in period mean in this case? please suggest, what should I do to start period?

Brief Answer:
A side effect of unwanted -72.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting us about her health care.
I can understand your concerns.
Her period maybe delayed due to side effect of unwanted -72 due to hormonal imbalance.
It contains high dose of hormone in it.
So wait and watch for her menses as chances of pregnancy are very low in her case as her pregnancy test is negative.
Unwanted -72 can delay her menses by 7-14 days.
Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more questions.
Good luck.
Regards

Thansk Dr.
Today is 14th day from her expected period date but still no sign of periods. Yesterday, we have again tested by using prega news with first urine of the morning and its result was same as negative.
There is no sign of menses and you have said it should be 7-14 delay. Today is 14th day, what should we do to start period. Please suggest if any medicine is available to start the menses.

Brief Answer:
Wait and watch for your period.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

You are most welcome.
You should wait and watch for few more days because your pregnancy test is negative.
Usually progesterone is given for withdrawal bleeding but you should consult a Gynecologist because it is a prescription drug.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.

Today is 16th day from her expected period date still no menses started. I don’t know what is going with her. I’m too much worried about her pregnancy. I have taken 4 tests and all shows negative. I can’t consult to any local doctor, and because of society she won’t go outside to consult any doctor. Please understand our situation and provide detail about the pregnancy. How much HPT shows correct result and can I believe on HPT kits, I have tested by using two different company product but result is same i.e. negative. She is in stress due to delay. Please help with proper solution, how can start the period immediate by using medicine.

Brief Answer:
Delayed period due to side effect of unwanted 72.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Sorry for the long delay in my response.
I can very well understand your situation.
Period is delayed due to side effect of unwanted -72.
It can delay her menses by 7-14 days.
Test results showed negative results after 14 days of her missed period date means she is not pregnant.
If test was done properly as advice than it is almost 99% correct.
So please do not take any stress.
If she wants to take medicine for withdrawal bleeding she should consult a Gynecologist because they are the prescription medicine.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.
Regards
