What is the risk of pregnancy from potential indirect contact with seminal fluid if emergency contraception (Unwanted 72) was taken 29 hours post-exposure, and could the medication be the cause of her delayed period?
The risk of pregnancy from indirect contact with seminal fluid is extremely low. Additionally, taking the emergency contraceptive Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) within 29 hours is highly effective. It is very common for this medication to temporarily alter hormone levels, which is likely the reason her period is delayed. To help ease your mind, she can take a home pregnancy test if her period is more than a week late.
