72 Unwanted is an emergency contraceptive pill, and its usage can result in disruptions to your menstrual cycle like spotting irregular periods and flow. Perhaps, your symptoms may be attributed to side effects from the drug. However, emergency contraception is not 100 percent specific despite the fact that it works. if you are afraid of having a baby or your menstruation is not normal I would recommend doing pregnancy test and reaching out to the doctor.

The spotting that occurred after taking Unwanted 72 in January could be a side effect of the emergency contraceptive pill. However, since you had your period after 6 days, the chances of pregnancy are unlikely. It is recommended to use regular contraception to avoid the need for emergency contraception.

It is an emergency contraceptive and has to be taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex to help prevent pregnancy, and after taking unwanted 72 when bleeding will start.. it occurs as a side effect of the pill, and they do not necessarily indicate pregnancy. Some may experience blood clots after taking unwanted 72. And does unwanted 72 cause early periods or after how many days period comes after taking unwanted 72 will depend from woman to woman..

No chances of pregnancy because after taking unwanted 72 what happens is, the spotting is result of withdrawal of the hormone progesterone present, that is called withdrawal bleeding after taking unwanted 72. You can also consult the best Gynecologist in Mumbai for further information.
