I'm really worried because after having sex with my girlfriend, I gave her Unwanted 72. An hour later, she started having a headache. She felt better the next day, but then in the afternoon, her head began hurting again, this time not as bad. However, by nighttime, the pain got really intense. Could this be a side effect of the pill? What should I do to help her feel better?

Your girlfriend may be experiencing a side effect of Unwanted 72 emergency contraceptive pill. Headache is a common side effect of this medication. To help alleviate the headache, she can take a pain reliever such as Paracetamol (e.g. Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the headache persists or becomes severe, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been taking Nostra to delay my period, but now that I've stopped, my period still isn't coming properly. Can you suggest any tablets I could take to help with this issue? I'm really worried about what to do.

Its common for periods to be delayed after stopping Nostra, as your body adjusts. I recommend consulting with your gynecologist to explore options like progesterone therapy (such as Regestrone) or other treatments to help regulate your cycle.
