Question: If a girl didn't had an intercourse and taken unwanted 72 what does it cause?
Brief Answer:
may cause a girl's periods early or late for next two cycles.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
The unwanted 72 pill contains Levonorgesterol which is a potent antiovulatory,and thus it prevents pregnancy by altering the sex hormones in a woman and this prevents release of egg (ovum) from the ovary and inhibits fertilization between sperm and egg.
This way it prevents a pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of possible unprotected sex.
When taken accidentally without intercourse, it may cause a girl's periods early or late for next two cycles and mid cycle bleeding which is because the hormones in Unwanted 72 are high and cause hormonal imbalances.
The side effects are very uncommon nowadays but it may cause some gastrointestinal side effects like lower abdominal pain or nausea or vomiting or stomach cramps or headache.
However,there is no need to worry since this side effects are minimal and can be easily treated.
Hope this will help you.
