Brief Answer:
Almost nil chances of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns about.
If she had protected intercourse and took emergency contraceptive pill within24 hours of unprotected intercourse, chances of pregnancy are almost nil.
Unwanted72 has levonorgestrel hormone which causes withdrawal bleeding within7-10 days of its intake and can delay the next expected periods by 2-3 weeks.
If she has bleeding in next 5-6 days, then there are no chances of pregnancy.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
