Hello,

Unwanted-72 gives protection more than 95% against unwanted pregnancy if taken within first 24 hrs. Here, chance of pregnancy is quite low.

However, it can cause late period due to hormonal imbalance and associated mental stress. Her period may be delayed for 1-2 weeks.

I suggest you to undergo one home pregnancy test if her period is delayed more than 1 week. On negative result, she can take Progesterone pill to induce period.

Kindly, consult with your doctor for if you don't get your period within next 7 days.

Good luck and practice safe sex.
