Smoking a cigarette or having intercourse after taking Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) will not reduce the medication's effectiveness for your previous intercourse. However, please know that emergency contraception only protects you from intercourse that happened *before* taking the pill. It does not prevent pregnancy from any sex that occurs *after* you take it. Because you had intercourse four hours later, you may not be protected for that specific act. I highly recommend using a barrier method, like condoms, for any further intimate contact. Please consider speaking with a healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

Yes, you can use mifepristone and misoprostol while breastfeeding. To keep your baby safe, it is best to suspend breastfeeding and discard your milk for 24 hours after taking mifepristone, and for 4 to 6 hours after taking misoprostol. Yes, the four misoprostol tablets can be taken orally by swallowing them, though placing them under your tongue or in your cheek to dissolve is often recommended for better effectiveness. Please monitor your baby for temporary diarrhea, and contact your doctor.

Bleeding for a month after a medical abortion can sometimes suggest an incomplete abortion or hormonal changes, though an ongoing pregnancy is also possible. To know for sure and ensure your safety, it is very important to see a healthcare provider for a follow-up ultrasound or pregnancy test. Once the pregnancy is completely cleared, your normal menstrual cycle should return within 4 to 8 weeks. Please consult a doctor soon.

Taking a pill like Unwanted 72 (which contains levonorgestrel) is safe, but it can temporarily disrupt your cycle. You might experience minor side effects like mild nausea, headache, fatigue, or breast tenderness for a few days. Your next period may also arrive a few days early or late, and it might be slightly lighter or heavier than usual. Some spotty bleeding before your period is also common. These changes are temporary as your body processes the hormone. However, if your period is delayed by more than a week, please take a home pregnancy test just to be sure.

Taking two doses of levonorgestrel emergency contraception within two days is medically safe, though it may cause temporary side effects like nausea, fatigue, headaches, or changes to your next period. Because you took both doses within the effective 48-hour window, your risk of pregnancy remains low. While taking it again still offers protection, repeated use in close succession can disrupt your cycle and is less reliable than regular daily birth control. For peace of mind, I recommend taking a pregnancy test in three weeks and chatting with your doctor about consistent contraceptive options.
