Hello,

Welcome to HCM,

I can understand your concerns,

You had intercourse in`unsafe period` but as you told that you had unwanted 72 with in 72hours(same day.it indicates, chances of pregnancy is less.

Unwanted72 can cause period irregularities like delay period,heavy periods or irregular.

However,If you do not get your periods with in a week,I will advise you to go for home urine pregnancy test and consult with your gynecologist.

Hope this helps,

Feel free to ask further,

Thanks.
