1. Forgetting to start her pill pack yesterday.
2. Unprotected intercourse during her menses.
3. That a condom broke yesterday in the middle of her cycle.
4. Increased dysmenorrhea since IUD insertion.

Rationale 1: The patient who forgot to start a new pill pack on time might not have had intercourse.
Rationale 2: Intercourse during menses does not lead to pregnancy.
Rationale 3: Emergency contraception is taken to prevent pregnancy when unprotected intercourse occurs during the midcycle within the past 72 hours.
Rationale 4: An IUD in place prevents conception, so emergency contraception is not indicated.
