Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Yes period will be delayed by the unwanted 72 as it contain high progesterone that disrupt the normal cycle.
Period may be delayed by the 7-10 days but in some case more than that.
So I advice you to go for pregnancy test after 12-14 days. And better to go for Blood HCG as it is more accurate.
Sometime pregnancy may be occcur due to some failure rate of the pill.
So if pregnancy will be positive then it should be terminated by abortion pill after getting expert opinion form the gynecologist.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
