Hello,
As she had taken unwanted 72 within 24 hours of unprotected sex, the effectiveness is almost 95%. So there is almost no chance of your partner being pregnant. Unwanted 72 need not cause any bleeding. If she doesn't have her periods even after 20 days from her usual date, then she may go for home pregnancy test. As you didn't discharge semen into her, there is no chance of her being pregnant.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
I can understand your concern, you had unprotected sex with your partner and gave your gf unwanted 72 in 6 hrs. Since your gf has taken unwanted 72 within six hour of unprotected sex so there is hardly any chance of her getting pregnant. However, if you are left with doubts in your mind then you can do a simple urine pregnancy test if your gf is not getting periods.
Unwanted 72 can delay period as a side effect as all these emergency contraceptive pills are hormone-based and they lead to delayed ovulation. However, unwanted 72 is an emergency contraceptive pill and is a one time pill. If you are not planning for a baby, your Gf should be on regular contraceptive pills and take it as instructed for the best efficacy.
