Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
Your girl friend need not be mentally stressed. She has taken right precautions against pregnancy after unprotected sex.
Home pregnancy test kits are available to confirm pregnancy in privacy. This test will confirm pregnancy 15 days after having unprotected sex with 95% accuracy. So if she had sex on 24-08-2013, the test must be done after 08-09-2013.
Coming to withdrawal bleeding, that can happen any time after a week following taking unwanted 72 pill. The pill contains high hormone levels and there can be early or delayed periods for up to two months. The pill should be taken only in emergency and not regularly.
Taking pill regularly can cause cysts in ovary.
Hope this helps

Hi,
Thanks for your query. I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:
1) It is very early to predict possibility of pregnancy.
2) I suggest let her get serum beta hCG test done if she misses her periods.
Let me know if you have anymore doubts.
