Many women gain weight around menopause starting as early as from 40 years of age which can be controlled by healthy eating habits and physical activity. There is no rule which applies commonly for all women in terms of this duration of weight gain but on an average it is 5 years.

I had sex with my girlfriend today, January 11, and the condom broke. She took Unwanted 72 before, like three days ago on January 7, after we had unprotected sex. Can she take the pill again or is that too much for one week? Really concerned about what we should do.

Using **Unwanted 72** twice in a week is not recommended, as it contains a high dose of hormones, which can disrupt your girlfriend's menstrual cycle and cause side effects like nausea, irregular bleeding, or fatigue. It's best to consult a healthcare provider for guidance on emergency contraception and explore long-term contraceptive options for better safety and effectiveness.
