My girlfriend and I had sex without condom on January 10th and she had unwanted 72. Again on 21st January we again had sex without condom n she had unwanted 72 pill. Will it work or will it cause any harm? She is expecting her periods on 29th of January.

Hello dear
I understand your concern
If I pill was taken with in 24 hours then it is highly effective in preventing pregnancy.
It has upto 95% effective in preventing pregnancy.
But it may cause high chance of hormonal imbalance as Unwanted 72 was used twice with in short period.
Do not use Unwanted 72 as regular contraception as it cause menstrual irregularity, ovulatory dysfunction, infertility in future.
Next period will be delayed by 1-2 weeks.
Wait for period to come
If period will delay by more than 2 weeks then consult gynecologist for examination.
Meanwhile avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.
Use condom to prevent unwanted pregnancy
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
