Question: Hi doctor. I had sex wid my fiance last month. She had a vaginal penetration first and later we had sex without condom but i didnt ejaculated inside her.later she took unwanted 72 within 30 hours. After few days her period came bt the next period is not coming. Its getting delayed. It was sheduled to come in these week but it didnt. Is der any chances of pregnency.
Brief Answer:
delay of menses is expected...explained
Detailed Answer:
hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
well , if she had a withdrawal bleed following the unwanted 72 intake , then there are no chances of pregnancy at all. However the day her withdrawal bleed started , now becomes her fresh LMP and her next menses would be due only after a month from this date of withdrawal bleed and not from the previous one. I hope you understand what i mean here.
also its a known side effect that the next few cycles after an unwanted 72 use are likely to be delayed by around 10 days even with the new LMP date , so just barrier contraception have to be followed till resumption of menses and things shall correct naturally,
rest assured.
Regards

hello,
If the menses were scheduled by 15/16th of this month, then the last menses were on 14/15 february.
Now you had sex on 6th day i.e 21st , then she took the pill on 22nd feb after 30 hrs. Then after few days say 5 days she had her withdrawal bleed...= 27th feb 2015.
Now 27th feb becomes her fresh LMP and her next menses should be around 25/26th march and not 15/16th march. This is natural, but the delay can even be beyond 25th/26th march by another 7 days due to the side effect of unwanted 72 and the day can be in 3/4th april.
so just wait for periods to resume and practice barrier contraception.
regards
