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.

Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) should be taken as a single tablet as soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours of unprotected sex. It works quickly to prevent or delay ovulation. Since you are taking it a week before your expected period, it might cause your next period to be a few days early or late, or cause some light spotting. This is a completely normal reaction to the hormone. If your period is delayed by more than a week, it is best to take a pregnancy test to be sure.

Yes, there is still a very small chance of pregnancy, as no emergency contraceptive is 100% effective. However, because you took the i-pill (Unwanted 72), which contains levonorgestrel, on the same day as the unprotected sex, its effectiveness is very high. It works primarily by preventing or delaying ovulation. For your peace of mind, I suggest taking a home pregnancy test if your next period is delayed by more than a week, or in about three weeks.

It is generally safe to continue breastfeeding, though a few simple steps can keep your baby comfortable. Mifepristone enters breast milk in very small, safe amounts, so you do not need to stop nursing. However, misoprostol can pass into breast milk and might cause mild, temporary diarrhea in your baby. To prevent this, you can simply pump and discard your breast milk for about 4 to 6 hours after taking the misoprostol. After this short pause, you can safely resume breastfeeding as normal.

Emergency contraceptive pills, such as levonorgestrel, use hormones to delay ovulation. This temporary hormonal shift commonly causes your next period to be late, early, or lighter than usual. While these medications are highly effective, a small risk of pregnancy still remains. To give yourself peace of mind, I recommend taking a home pregnancy test if your period is delayed by more than one week. If you experience severe abdominal pain, please consult a doctor.

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.
