Hello Vineet;
Thanks for your query.
As your girlfriend has taken unwanted 72 with in the stipulated 72 hours it will be less likely that she can get pregnant.Regarding the symptoms she has like headache,breast tenderness,and soiling these are the symptoms of unwanted 72.
Normally she may get withdrawal bleeding (like period) with in 3-7 days after she has taken the pill and the symptoms will subside.
Hope this answer is helpful.
Take care.

hi,
the side effects like nausea ,headache etc are often present.
you will have to wait for the withdrawal bleeding to occur in few days time .if withdrawal bleeding does not occur you will have to contact gynecologist for a check up and treatment accordingly in case of no period .
it is advisable to use regular contraceptive measures to prevent pregnancy
hope every thing goes well with you.

Dear Mr vinnet

there are some chances of failure of contraception of this type. But not always.
Mild sideeffects like this are common. But if it makes her feel giddy, difficult to sit or walk or bleed more, it can be a an emergency.

Pregnancy can best be confirmed within one week fo missing period by an ultrasound examination.

such pregnancies if need to be avoided at that stage, they can be aborted by specialist using a syringe procedure called menstrual regulation.

Hello
These are the side effects of UNWANTED 72 and not the pregnancy and they generally go away in 24 hrs.
The chances of pregnancy are as good as nil.
Relax and don't worry.
Thanks
