I'm really worried because I had unprotected sex during my ovulation period and my boyfriend ejaculated a little inside me. I took an emergency contraceptive (Unwanted 72) within 6 hours after that. I'm concerned about the possibility of getting pregnant. Can you tell me what are the chances of pregnancy in this situation? Also, if I'm not pregnant, when should I expect my next period?

You can expect some changes in your menstrual cycle after taking Unwanted 72. Your period may come earlier or later than usual, and it may be heavier or lighter than normal. It is difficult to predict the exact timing of your next period, but it is common for women to experience a delay of a few days to a week. To help ease your concerns, you can take a pregnancy test if your period is delayed by more than a week.
