Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Yes she is safe from pregnancy. One is it is just after periods I.e safe period and second is she has taken unwanted 72 within time.
Some people won't get any symptoms after taking tablet. So don't worry. She may have a delayed period next time 2 to 3 days.

Will she get a delayed start up of next period for sure or it may be early too ? If it comes early does it need any pregnancy test ?
She normally has a 30 days cycle so which are safe days in that case ?

Brief Answer:
it may be either way
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
She may get periods before or late or even normal. Usually after taking unwanted 72 periods may come on different date.
If she gets periods before then no need to get pregnancy test. If it is delayed then get the test done just to be on safer side .
The safe period is after stop of periods till day 12 and from day 20 to 30. Avoid sex from day 12 to 20 th. The first day of starting of period is taken as day1 .

mam thanks for your help up to this. but I would like to share one more info... before having her period (23-26 Dec) and the unprotected intercourse on 27 Dec, she bled just a bit on 15 or16 Dec . she told it was just a bit only.... does that mean anything suspicious to get pregnant because of early ovulation?
Brief Answer:
Don't indicate early ovulation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Inbetween regular periods sometimes little bleeding may occur due to stress leading to hormonal imbalance or due to intake of hormones like unwanted 72 or contraceptive pills.
That doesn't indicate early ovulation. Early ovulation means around 10 to 12 days after periods not next day.
That inbetween little bleeding doesn't increase the chance of pregnancy.

10 to 12 days after periods or including the days of period ? even if there is no early evolution and although unwanted 72 was taken within 1 hour (not any symptom observed yet ) -- does there any chance remain to get pregnant by the intercourse of just next day of period-stopping ??? in case if we consider the earliest possible ovulation and the longest possible survival of sperms inside woman body !
Brief Answer:
First day of period is day one
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It's always the first day of period is considered as day one. So 12 th day means it includes the period time.
If there is no ovulation then there is no chance of pregnancy. It is very unlikely to have ovulation so early because usually 14 days of ovulation periods starts. So ovulation is expected around 12 to 16 th day in a 30 day cycle.
it's not must to have symptoms after taking unwanted 72. Chances are negligible to become pregnant after unwanted 72 taken within time. Because unwanted 72 prevents ovulation and sperm penetration and attachment.
Longest survival of sperms depends on person to person. Usually it is taken as 3 to 4 days. It is unlikely to ovulate even after intercourse as its too early and unwanted 72 is taken. So there is negligible risk of pregnancy. But with any contraceptive method there is no 100% guarantee. It's always chances of pregnancy . In your case it is very negligible chance.
