Had Partially Unprotected Sex. Taken Unwanted 72. No Periods. Due To Medicine?
I had sex with my bf on 1st september. The condom just leaked. I urinated soon after we realized it, I urinated and took unwanted 72 with 1 n half hour. My periods should have come normally on 8th(though its a bit irregular and shifts for 2-3 days). But its 12th and i still don t have my periods. Does unwanted 72 delay periods? If yes then how long? Am i pregnant? I am really worried.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing your concerns with us.
Yes, this pill may sometimes delay period if taken during the second half of your cycle as is the case with you.
You may take a pregnancy test now & repeat it after one week if this is negative.
Condoms alone are not a very effective method of contraception. Please use a reliable method like pills if you are not ready for a pregnancy.
Take care.
