Bleeding after emergency contraceptive
Patient's Query
I am 20 year old .. I have unprotected sex with my partner..I have taken unwanted 72 within 24 hrs.. i had bleeding after 7 days and it was heavy for first day.. bleeding lasts for 3 days.. Is there is any chance of pregnancy???? Please tell me
Answered by Dr. Nisarg Patel
Taking an emergency contraceptive pill within 24 hours of unprotected sex can greatly reduce the chance of pregnancy, but it is not 100% effective. So how to know if unwanted 72 has worked? It's the bleeding you experienced which is a common side effect of the pill and is a sign that the pill is working to prevent pregnancy. If you are still concerned, you can take a home pregnancy test to confirm.

There is still a possibility of pregnancy even after taking the emergency contraceptive pill like Unwanted 72. However, bleeding after 7 days is a positive sign that the pill has worked. To be sure, it is recommended to take a pregnancy test after a missed period. It is also important to practice safe sex and use contraceptives to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

Answered by Dr. Himali Bhogle
It is normal to bleed after swallowing an emergency contraceptive pill; it is usually not a serious condition. This bleeding is normally less than a usual period and takes place due to hormonal changes associated with the pill. Important to note that this bleeding is not like a normal menstruation. If the bleeding is heavy or long-lasting, and especially if there are other worrying symptoms beforehand, seeking medical advice can be useful. More importantly, it also needs to be mentioned that emergency contraception is not a routine birth control mechanism
