What Causes Delayed Periods Despite Taking Unwanted 24 Post Unprotected Sex?

Hi. I had my last period on 14th and had unprotected sex on 6th of this month. I took unwanted 72 within 24 hrs. I have not got my periods yet (its almost 7 days late). I always had regular periods so far. Are there chances of pregnancy? I checked twice at home but the results were not very clear. Please help.

Hi.

I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Unwanted 72 as a emergency contraceptive pills has few side effects like stomach pain, dizziness, headache, breast pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, changes in menstrual cycle etc.

Also, it's not 100% protective. So chances of getting pregnant is still there. I advice you to,
- Do serum beta HCG test which is more reliable than HPT to rule out pregnancy.
- Consult your doctor for further assistance

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
