Brief Answer:
No chance of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
There is nothing to worry as this delay is because of unwanted 72 intake which has high dose of progesterone in it.
There is no risk of pregnancy as her periods were due on 18th November so there cannot be any egg in her body on 14th November.
Just wait for her periods.
Take care
Regards
Dr Manisha

Brief Answer:
Can take 1-2 weeks

Detailed Answer:
I understand your anxiety dear but it can take 1-2 weeks for spontaneous periods to come after emergency pill intake so nothing to worry.
As I told you there is no risk of pregnancy as there was no egg in her body at that time to form a baby. Just relax and don't feel anxious about it.
