Brief Answer:
Bleeding is unpredictable after unwanted 72.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern here.

Bleeding is unpredictable after taking emergency pill due to hormonal imbalance.

It can cause menstrual irregularities for 1-3 months.

As she had I-pill with in 72 hrs. it is 97% effective and chances of pregnancy are less.

As now it is already 5 days go you can not give her anything else to prevent pregnancy now.

If she is not bleeding after 5 days of taking I - pill that does not mean she is pregnant.

Wait for her next period.

Hope it is useful,feel free to ask more.

Good luck.

Regards
Dr.Richa
