Hello dear
Understand your concern
As you took unwanted 72 pill after 5 days, it will not protect against the pregnancy. To prevent the pregnancy, it should be taken with in 72 hour after sexual intercourse. Pregnancy chance is less you did sexual intercourse in infertile phase of cycle (not around the ovulation time). But there may be slight risk as sex was not protective.
Delayed period may be occur due to hormonal imbalance caused by unwanted 72 pill as contain high progesterone level. As you taken after ovulation, it increase the leutal phase of cycle and lead to delayed period about 4-7 days.
But if period will delay by 10-14 days then you have to think about the pregnancy (should be confirmed by UPT/Blood HCG/USG scan).
If intrauterine pregnancy will confirm by USG scan then it should be abort by using abortion pill (mifepristone plus misoprostol)under the observation of gynecologist.
Hope this may help you
