Safety and Usage
Taking two doses of Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg in one week is generally safe for healthy women, including those aged 25. However, it's meant for occasional use, not regular contraception. -
Effectiveness and Side Effects
- Effectiveness: Frequent use may reduce effectiveness and cause menstrual irregularities.
- Side Effects: Possible side effects include nausea, fatigue, headache, or changes in your period, which are usually temporary.
-
Consultation and Advice
- Consult a Healthcare Provider: If frequent use is needed, discuss more reliable contraceptive options with a healthcare professional.
- When to Seek Medical Advice: Consult a doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, or if your period is over a week late.
In summary, while taking two emergency contraceptive pills in one week is not typically harmful, consider regular contraception methods for ongoing protection. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider.

View allI'm kind of worried because it's been almost a month since I had sex with my girlfriend, and she still hasn't gotten her period. I read that sometimes cycles can be late, so I'm trying not to panic yet. But, just in case she is pregnant, I was wondering if there's a way to prevent it aside from abortion, which honestly seems really scary. Are there any other options we should consider?

I'm a bit worried because I haven't had sex with my boyfriend, but we were cuddling and humping naked from June 3rd to June 6th, and his sperm ended up on my lower region. We started worrying about pregnancy, so I took Unwanted 72 on June 7th. We did a urine test on June 8th, and it was negative. My last period ended on May 10th, so I expected my next period around June 7th or 8th. But now it's June 16th, and I still haven't gotten my period. Can taking Unwanted 72 delay my period?
While nipple stimulation can trigger the release of the hormone prolactin, which plays a role in milk production, it typically requires pregnancy or recent childbirth to induce lactation. Without a pregnancy, prolonged nipple stimulation alone may not result in milk production, though it can have temporary effects like increased sensitivity or small amounts of fluid secretion. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for more personalized advice.
