Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
Well you have done the right thing by taking an unwanted 72 pill soon after . Now you can expect a withdrawal bleed within 7-10 days which can be slightly heavy but shall ensure that you are pregnancy safe as well.
The failure rate of emergency contraceptive pills is only 1-2 per cent , so it is likely that you would not get pregnant. Please wait for your withdrawal bleed now.
