Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

First, she should do pregnancy test since Unwanted 72 is not 100% safe, but however, period may be missed after contraception pill and it may take even up to 2 months till it normalizes. This happens because there is hormonal imbalance after use of it. But as I said, for your ease of mind, you should do test 2 weeks after intercourse.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
