Hello dear
Understand your concern
No contraception is 100 percent effective.
There is 5-10 % failure rate in the postpone 72 pill.
Your period may be delayed(by 7-10 days) due to the postpone 72 pill as it contain high progesterone and cause prolongation of second phase of cycle.
If period will delay by 12-14 days from normal expected period then go for pregnancy test to confirm the pregnancy.
If you will become pregnant and does not want pregnancy then still you can terminate the pregnant MTP kit under the supervision of OBGYN specialist.
Hope this will help you
