It is very common to experience a delayed period after a medical abortion, and I understand this can be worrying. Usually, your cycle returns within 4 to 8 weeks as your body resets its hormone levels. Other reasons for a delay can include emotional stress, physical anxiety, or even a new pregnancy, since your fertility can return quite quickly. To give you peace of mind, I recommend taking a home pregnancy test if it has been over 4 weeks, or visiting your doctor for a simple follow-up check.

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 highly unlikely that you are pregnant. Taking Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) within an hour of intercourse is extremely effective, and having two heavy periods since May is a very reassuring sign that you are not pregnant. The symptoms you are experiencing now, like breast changes, headaches, and abdominal pain, are likely due to normal hormonal fluctuations, stress, or PMS rather than pregnancy. However, for your peace of mind, taking a simple home pregnancy test is the quickest way to be absolutely sure. Please consult a healthcare professional if these symptoms persist or worsen.

The symptoms you describe?unexplained crying, loss of interest, and trouble concentrating?are common signs of depression or anxiety. Anxiety itself can frequently cause physical symptoms like chest pain. Sometimes, underlying physical conditions like thyroid issues can also mimic these feelings. Because you are experiencing chest pain, it is very important to visit a healthcare provider for a thorough checkup to rule out physical causes. Please reach out to a professional; there are highly effective treatments and support available to help you feel like yourself again.

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.

Hello. I understand your concern, but please be reassured. Since you have been consistently taking your daily combined oral contraceptive containing levonorgestrel and ethinylestradiol for 14 days, you are already fully protected against pregnancy. These daily pills become effective after 7 days of consistent use. Therefore, taking an emergency contraceptive pill like Unwanted 72 is not necessary. Taking extra hormones when you are already protected is not needed and might cause minor side effects like nausea or irregular spotting. Just continue taking your daily birth control pills on schedule.
