I've missed my period this time and had unprotected sex about 12 days ago. I'm unsure if I'm pregnant, and I'm worried about what might happen if I take Unwanted Mankind abortion pills without confirming it. Could there be any side effects if I take them even if I'm not actually pregnant?

Taking abortion pills like Unwanted M without confirming pregnancy is not recommended. If you are not pregnant, these pills can still cause side effects such as nausea, bleeding, or hormonal disturbances. Please take a pregnancy test first and consult a doctor for appropriate guidance.
