Taking the emergency contraceptive pill Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) will not have any long-term impact on your future fertility. It works temporarily to prevent pregnancy and clears your system quickly. Regarding your second question, yes, emergency contraception is recommended. The withdrawal method is not highly reliable, as pre-ejaculatory fluid can carry active sperm. Taking Unwanted 72 within 72 hours of intercourse is a safe and effective step to prevent an unplanned pregnancy.

The bleeding you are experiencing is a very common side effect of Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel), as the hormonal shift can cause spotting followed by a heavier flow. This bleeding is likely a side effect of the pill rather than a sign of pregnancy. Your next actual period may arrive early, on time, or be delayed by up to a week. To give you peace of mind, I recommend taking a home pregnancy test if your expected period is delayed by more than seven days.

These experiences can sometimes be related to mood fluctuations or anxiety. A healthcare professional can help you find balance. Often, a combination of talk therapy, like cognitive behavioral therapy, and medications such as mood stabilizers (like lamotrigine) or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (like sertraline) can be highly effective. I gently encourage you to schedule an appointment with a doctor or psychiatrist who can safely guide you toward feeling more like yourself again. You deserve to feel calm and in control.

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.

Experiencing five days of bleeding after taking Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) is a very common side effect of this emergency contraceptive and often indicates that it has worked. However, while this bleeding is a reassuring sign, it is not a 100% guarantee that you are not pregnant. The only way to be absolutely sure is to perform a home pregnancy test 21 days after the unprotected intercourse, or if your next regular period is delayed by more than a week.

Unwanted 72 contains levonorgestrel, a hormone that frequently disrupts your natural cycle. The heavy bleeding you experienced two days after taking it was likely withdrawal bleeding, a common side effect of the pill. This hormonal shift can also delay your next period by several days, so a five-day delay is not unusual. While the risk of pregnancy is low, I highly recommend taking a simple home pregnancy test if your period is delayed by more than a week.
