Question : Hi, me and my girl had sex on 20th Aug, she had her last period on 10th of Aug...we used unwanted 72 on 20th Aug it self and today is 30th Sep...still she didnt had her periods. Kindly suggest wat should we do?
We don't want any issue, kindly suggest asap? Is it possible to take a medicine to abort if she got pregnant?
