Taken within 72 hours following an unprotected sex, the emergency contraceptive pills like Unwanted-72 is 95% effective in preventing an unwanted pregnancy.
Following the use of this pill your period might be different. Most women will have a normal period at the expected time, but some may have their period later or earlier than normal.
As per your history you seem to have some irregular bleeding or spotting within a week after using Unwanted-72 and it is suggestive of withdrawal bleeding due to hormonal changes.
However, if your next period gets delayed by 5 days or more or is unusually light or unusually heavy you should contact your doctor.
Hope this will help.
