Hello,

Unwanted 72 pill gives protection for next 72 hrs theoretically and you can involve in unprotected sex during this time.

However, I suggest to take another pill soon after second time sexual intercourse for safety purpose.

It can cause late period due to hormonal imbalance and associated mental stress. Her period may be delayed for 1-2 weeks.

I suggest her to undergo one home pregnancy test if period is delayed more than 1 week. On negative result, she can take Progesterone pill to induce period.

Kindly, consult with her doctor for if she doesn't get her period within next 10 days.

Good luck and practice safe sex.
