How can we tell if the Unwanted 72 emergency pill worked, and what should we do next, since my partner took it within 24 hours of unprotected sex on August 17 and her period expected on August 30 is now late?
Taking Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) within 24 hours of unprotected sex is highly effective. However, emergency contraceptive pills commonly cause hormonal fluctuations that can delay your partner's period. The most reliable way to confirm if the pill worked is to take a home pregnancy test. Since it has been more than three weeks since August 17, a pregnancy test now will give you an accurate result. If the test is negative and her period is delayed by more than a week, or if you have further concerns, consulting a healthcare professional is a great next step.
