Hi Shilpa

Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the safety of Unwanted 72 pills.

The side effects described in your case are due to hormonal imbalance.
This is because of the high content of hormone Levonorgestrel in Unwanted 72 pill.

Unwanted 72 is an emergency contraceptive pill and to be used only when there has been unprotective penetrative sex the protection has been questionable like a break in condoms during sexual intercourse.

When taken for first time or subsequently, there can be early or late periods for next two cycles and mid cycle bleeding.
When it is used repeatedly it can cause cysts in ovary, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome , irregular periods and infertility.
For this reason unwanted 72 should be taken only in emergency when you have forgotten to use protections like condoms or there is suspected break in condoms.

Hope the explanations given above could be of great help to you.
A feed back is appreciated.
Regards
