It is very reassuring that your friend took Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) just one hour after intercourse, as emergency contraception is most effective when taken as soon as possible. Additionally, having sex on the sixth day of her period means her risk of pregnancy is naturally lower. While this combination makes pregnancy highly unlikely, no contraceptive method is 100% guaranteed. She should expect some changes in her next period cycle, such as it being slightly early or late. If her period is delayed by more than a week, a simple home pregnancy test will provide peace of mind. Please reassure her that she took the right steps promptly.

Yes, there is still a small risk of pregnancy even without ejaculation, as pre-ejaculatory fluid can sometimes contain sperm. To give you peace of mind, using emergency contraception is recommended if you wish to prevent pregnancy. Highly effective generic options like levonorgestrel (best within 72 hours) or ulipristal acetate (effective up to 120 hours) are widely available. These work best the sooner they are taken. You are taking the right steps by asking, and a local pharmacist or clinic can quickly help you choose the best option for your situation.

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.

Taking the emergency contraceptive pill, levonorgestrel (Unwanted 72), introduces a high dose of hormones which frequently causes menstrual delays. Regarding your desogestrel/ethinylestradiol daily pill (Femilon), if you took it consistently every day after starting, it would have been fully effective by day thirteen. While the risk of pregnancy is relatively low, the delay in your withdrawal bleed is likely due to the emergency pill. For your peace of mind, I recommend taking a simple home pregnancy test.

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.

Yes, taking the emergency contraceptive pill Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) at 50 hours is still effective, as it works up to 72 hours after exposure, though taking it sooner is always best. Common side effects are temporary and include mild nausea, headache, fatigue, or slight changes to your next period. Right now, a pregnancy test (urine or blood) will not be accurate, as it is much too early. Please wait at least 14 days after the incident to take a home urine test.
