Hi! You actually hit the'sweet spot' for pregnancy to occur by having sex at the time you did. Even though your wife took Unwanted 72 the next day there is a failure rate of 5% with this medication. Do wait a little longer and in case the period doesn't come go in for a pregnancy test. All the best!
