Brief Answer:
negligible chances of pregnancy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns.
She took unwanted-72 within 4 hours. She has had her periods on her usual time but it was heavier.
In my opinion, there are no chances of pregnancy.
The alteration in menses is most probably due to the effects of tablet taken.
The emergency contraceptive pills can cause alteration in menses due to hormonal effects. It can be either delayed or early. Even the flow can be altered. This usually normalizes in 2-3 cycles.
So, I think there are negligible chances of pregnancy.
You should not worry.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Kindly close the discussion if you have no more queries and give your valuable feedback.
Thanks.

She had little flow even today is there anything to worry
Brief Answer:
nothing to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
I do not think this is a reason to worry. The bleeding may continue for another 3-4 days.
It is most probably due to effect of pills.
If the bleeding is heavy, then you must consult a gynecologist.
She must take a healthy diet including lots of water.
Hope this helps.
