Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Unwanted 72 is an emergency contraceptive pill. It should be used only in instances of emergency. Consumption of it again and again will cause hormonal imbalance and thus may lead to delay in periods and sometimes heavy bleeding too.
There is only 89% protection in preventing pregnancy by use of such pills.
Hence, wait for her periods to happen. If it is still delayed, get her urine pregnancy test done once again to know the status.
All the best.
