Hi,
Thanks for choosing HCM,

unwanted is a hormonal pill,so it is likely that reason for delayed periods is hormonal imbalance
other reasons for delayed periods are
stress (physical and emotional .....even fear that she might get pregnant)
change in food pattern(dieting ,eating excess or eating at irregular intervals
fast foods
weight loss or gain
etc

so as she had period for 4 days you need not worry
is that a normal flow or too little like a spotting?

if still doubts persists she can go for home pregnancy test after a few days
(i dont think this is needed)

hope i answered your queries
feel free to contact me for further queries
thank you

Hi,
Thanks for query,
As she had taken unwanted 72 pill & got withdrawal bleed then after her period scheduled to be on 6th of every month will be disturbed due to hormonal imbalance created by taking pill.
There is no risk of pregnancy as she got withdrawal bleed after taking pill.
Thanks.
