Hi & Welcome.

After taking an Unwanted-72 pill within 72 hrs of intercourse, withdrawal bleeding usually occurs within 5-7 days and even 10 days in some cases.

But remember withdrawal bleeding is not mandatorily seen after consuming Unwanted-72.

It depends on the hormonal levels of the body of a female.

Most females will have a normal period at the expected time, but some may have their period later or earlier than normal.

Since your gf did not get withdrawal bleeding even after 7 days you have to consult a gynecologist to rule out pregnancy or hormonal imbalance.

She may not be able to find the Unwanted pill taken last week.

Hope this will help.
