Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) does not need to be taken during your period; it can be taken at any time during your menstrual cycle after unprotected intercourse. If taken one day before your expected period, it is safe to use. However, because ovulation typically occurs about two weeks before your period, your natural risk of pregnancy at this time is already extremely low. Unwanted 72 is most effective the sooner you take it, ideally within 72 hours of unprotected sex.

Taking an emergency contraceptive pill like Unwanted 72 (which contains levonorgestrel) when there is no risk of pregnancy will not cause any long-term harm. However, because it delivers a temporary surge of hormones, you might experience some mild, temporary side effects. These can include nausea, mild headache, fatigue, breast tenderness, or slight abdominal cramping. It is also very common for your next period to be a few days early or late, or slightly heavier or lighter than usual.

Your negative pregnancy test is a very positive sign. Taking both Norethisterone and Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) introduces a high level of hormones into your body, which frequently causes menstrual irregularities and can easily delay your period by a week or more. While pregnancy is highly unlikely given the negative test, I recommend repeating a home pregnancy test in one week using your first morning urine. If your period still hasn't arrived by then, or if you experience severe pain, please consult a healthcare provider for a blood test.

A pregnancy test cannot show a positive result just one day after intercourse, as it takes about one to two weeks for the pregnancy hormone to build up. The positive Prega News test could be a false positive, or it might point to a pregnancy from an earlier date. To be absolutely sure, I highly recommend repeating the home test in a few days using her first morning urine. Alternatively, a simple blood test at a doctor's clinic will give you a highly accurate and reassuring answer.

Emergency contraceptive pills like Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) contain hormones that can temporarily disrupt your cycle, frequently causing your period to be delayed by a week or more. Since it has been a week, the best next step is to take a home pregnancy test to give yourself peace of mind. If the test is negative, your period should arrive soon. However, if it remains delayed for another week, or if you experience any severe abdominal pain, please consult a healthcare provider for a quick checkup.

Bleeding or spotting about five days after taking an emergency contraceptive like Unwanted-72 (levonorgestrel) is a very common side effect due to hormonal changes, and is usually not a cause for concern. Regarding your other question, a urine pregnancy test is generally accurate 14 days after intercourse, but for the most reliable result, it is best to test 21 days after. If your next period is delayed by more than a week, please take a test or consult a healthcare professional.
