Brief Answer: CHANCE OF PREGNANCY IS QUITE RARE OR NEGLIGIBLE. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments: 1) You did unprotected sex on SAFE period (first 5 days after period over) and she took unwanted 72 pill additionally within 2 hrs which will give her more than 95% protection against unwanted pregnancy. Here, chance of pregnancy is almost RARE or NEGLIGIBLE. 2) First 5 days after period over are always SAFE in 28 to 32 days regular cycle. In this case, 4th day after period was quite SAFE according to her previous cycles. 3) Most women get their withdrawal bleeding within 7 to 10 days after taking emergency pill. However, it DOESN'T signify the INEFFECTIVENESS of the pill without bleeding. Pill will work definitely. 4) Don't be much worried. You should wait for her next coming period and she must undergo one home pregnancy test to clear doubt (if period delays more than 7 days from due date). 5) She must undergo a home pregnancy test initially soon after missed period and repeat the test after 7 days for confirmation. Early test is less significant. 6) She needs to wait another 3 to 5 days to get withdrawal bleeding. However, you shouldn't be panicking for not getting that. Effectiveness of the pill will be same with or without bleeding. 7) AMOXYCLAV (625) doesn't interfere with the pill and it is quite SAFE to continue. Hope, it will be helpful for your information. Kindly, close the discussion, if you don't have any other query. Wish your good health and practice safe sex in future with contraceptive.
