Brief Answer:
Unwanted 72 can delay the next normal cycle by 7-14 days.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I understand your concern.
Basically, your wife does not need an I-pill on day 10.
Having sex 2 days after the bleeding is considered safe.
But anyhow, since she has already taken it, there can be a delay in the next cycle by 10-15 days under such cie=rcumstances.
Hence, you can wait for another 5 days maximum since urine preg test is negative.
At this moment, in case if you feel anxious to wait for another 5 days, I advise your wife to get a transvaginal ultrasound.This can comfortably assess the state and phase of uterine endometrium and can accurately rule out pregnancy and predict the dates of menstruation.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
