What Should I do, After I get unwanted 72 I missed my period and test results postive - #17538

Manosi Mondal

I had unprotected sex on November 7, and I took Unwanted 72 afterwards. My period still hasn’t come, and I thought the delay might be because of the medicine. Then on December 5, I had unprotected sex again and took Unwanted 72 once more. Today I took a pregnancy test, and it showed a positive result. After the unprotected sex on November 7, I also experienced vomiting, loss of appetite, and back pain.

Age: 23

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hello,

1) Please do one more urine pregnancy test at home . 🛑Take morning first urine. If that one also positive, then pregnancy is almost confirm .

Then you have to do beta hcg test at lab. This gives more reliable results .

If that also positive, then pelvic ultrasound.

2) If pregnancy confirmed and you dont want to continue, Then talk to your gynecologist. It is possible with abortion pills until 7 weeks in most cases.

I trust this helps Thank you

I am a 2023 batch passout and working as a general physician right now, based in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Still kinda new in the bigger picture maybe, but honestly—every single day in this line teaches you more than textbooks ever could. I’ve had the chance to work under some pretty respected doctors during and after my graduation, not just for the clinical part but also to see how they handle people, real people, in pain, in panic, and sometimes just confused about their own health. General medicine covers a lot, right? Like from the smallest complaints to those random, vague symptoms that no one really understands at first—those are kinda my zone now. I don’t really rush to label things, I try to spend time actually listening. Feels weird to say it but ya, I do take that part seriously. Some patients just need someone to hear the whole story instead of jumping to prescription pads after 30 seconds. Right now, my practice includes everything from managing common infections, blood pressure issues, sugar problems to more layered cases where symptoms overlap and you gotta just... piece things together. It's not glamorous all the time, but it's real. I’ve handled a bunch of seasonal disease waves too, like dengue surges and viral fevers that hit rural belts hard—Hanumangarh doesn’t get much spotlight but there’s plenty happening out here. Also, I do rely on basics—thorough history, solid clinical exam and yeah when needed, investigations. But not over-prescribing things just cz they’re there. One thing I picked up from the senior consultants I worked with—they used to say “don’t chase labs, chase the patient’s story”... stuck with me till now. Anyway, still learning every single day tbh. But I like that. Keeps me grounded and kind of obsessed with trying to get better.

Hello Manosi

- Emergency contraception like Unwanted 72 is not 100% effective, especially if taken multiple times in a cycle or after ovulation. - A positive pregnancy test means you are most likely pregnant. - The symptoms you described (vomiting, appetite loss, back pain) are common in early pregnancy.

Next steps: - Schedule an appointment with a gynecologist as soon as possible to confirm the pregnancy and discuss your options and care. - Avoid taking any more emergency contraception or self-medicating. - The doctor will guide you on what to do next, including necessary tests and support.

Thank you

When you take emergency contraception like Unwanted 72, it’s indeed possible for your menstrual cycle to become disrupted. However, if you’ve taken a pregnancy test and it’s positive, it means pregnancy is likely occurring. It’s crucial to confirm this result with a healthcare provider, who can guide you on the next steps, whether you’re considering carrying the pregnancy to term or exploring termination. Also, your symptoms like vomiting, loss of appetite, and back pain could be related to early pregnancy or other conditions. Since these could also be associated with other medical issues, it’s necessary to evaluate them in the context of your positive test result. It’s best to make an appointment with an obstetrician or a general practitioner as soon as possible to confirm the pregnancy via a blood test and ultrasound and to discuss your health, options, and any necessary prenatal care if you decide to continue the pregnancy. Avoid further use of Unwanted 72 without consulting a healthcare provider, as its effects on an existing pregnancy haven’t been thoroughly examined and it’s not intended for regular contraceptive use. Consider discussing with your doctor about more reliable long-term contraceptive options, if needed, like birth control pills, IUDs, etc., to avoid future situations like this. Timely medical consultation is really important in your current situation—a delayed approach could limit the options available and may also impact health.

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

Repeat the pregnancy test tomorrow morning

Use first morning urine. If positive again → pregnancy confirmed.

Get a blood test (most important)

Serum β-hCG (quantitative) This confirms pregnancy and estimates how far along you are.

Do a transvaginal ultrasound once β-hCG ≥ 1500–2000 mIU/mL

Yes. It is only 85–90% effective, and effectiveness drops if:

Taken multiple times in a cycle

Taken after ovulation

High body weight

Too much time passed after sex

So failure is possible
