Brief Answer:
Dont worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Yes, you have taken i pill within 72 hrs, so it have reduced the chance of pregnancy by 89%.

When was your last periods? Is your periods regular, 28 day cycle?

The common menstrual irregularity with i pill is delayed periods and intermenstrual spotting.. So this can be a side effect of i pill..

If in doubt, take pregnancy test with early morning urine sample.. If negative wait for a week for spontaneous onset of bleeding.. If still no bleeding you can take progesterone tablet to get withdrawal bleeding after consulting your doctor..

Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. good day..
