Hello,
Taking Unwanted 72 8 hrs after unprotected sex gives protection more than 95% against unwanted pregnancy. Chance of pregnancy is quite low.
Your next period may be delayed for 1 to 2 weeks from due date due to effect of pill, causing hormonal imbalance and mental stress.
It is advisable that you must repeat the home pregnancy test after 1 week if your period does not start. Kindly, consult with doctor after that. Good luck.
