Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Contra 72 pill is an emergency contraceptive pill just like postinor or lydia emergency contraceptive pill. The hormone in contra 72 is levonorgestrel which helps to prevent unwanted pregnancy. So, kindly relax and take the tablet. The efficacy of emergency contraceptive pills is quite good and chance of becoming pregnant is negligible. Your next period may be a bit early or delayed, light or heavy. In case of excessive delay of your period kindly see your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunita Sayammagaru
