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.

Taking Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) so quickly. Taking it within one hour of unprotected sex makes it extremely effective, reducing the risk of pregnancy by over 95%. The symptoms you are experiencing?bloating, pelvic cramping, breast changes, and altered discharge?are very common, temporary side effects of the high hormone dose in the pill. They are much more likely due to the medication than early pregnancy, which wouldn't cause symptoms this soon. To ease your mind, I recommend taking a home pregnancy test in 21 days if your period is delayed.

Laser hair removal takes several months because our hair grows in different cycles. The treatment only works on hair in its active growth phase. Since your hairs aren't all growing at the same time, we need multiple sessions spaced weeks apart to target them all. As for your second question?yes, you can absolutely get treatments during your period! Just keep in mind that your skin might be a little more sensitive to discomfort during this time due to hormonal changes. Please don't hesitate to let your provider know so they can keep you as comfortable as possible.

If you are not pregnant, taking a levonorgestrel-based pill like Unwanted 72 after vulvar semen exposure is safe and helps prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation. If you are already pregnant, taking this medication is also safe; it will not harm you, disrupt the existing pregnancy, or affect the developing baby, though it will not end the pregnancy. You might experience mild, temporary side effects like nausea or changes in your next period.

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.

To take the standard emergency contraceptive pill containing levonorgestrel, swallow the single tablet with water as soon as possible after unprotected sex. It is most effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days). A highly effective alternative is ulipristal acetate, which can be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) after intercourse. For both pills, the sooner they are taken, the more effective they are. These medications are safe and prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation. If you happen to vomit within three hours of taking the pill, please speak with a doctor, as you may need a replacement dose.
