Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I took the Unwanted 72 pill within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse, but I haven’t had any withdrawal bleeding yet. Is it compulsory to have withdrawal bleeding after taking the pill? Should I be concerned?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

It’s important to wait for your next period. If your period doesn’t arrive as expected, I recommend taking a pregnancy test. If the test is positive or if you have any concerns, a scan can be done to confirm your situation. Please keep track of any symptoms and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further advice.

 

Thanks
