Brief Answer:
Please do not get tensed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Unwanted 72 can prevent pregnancy when it is taken within 5 days of sexual intercourse.
But it is more effective when taken as early as possible after unprotected intercourse.( you should take it with in 72 hrs.)

In your case, chances of pregnancy are very less but nothing is 100% effective.

In my opinion please do not take stress because it may further delayed her period.

So wait and watch for her period, if she misses her period then go for home urine pregnancy test.
I think I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to help you.
Regards
Dr. Richa
