Brief Answer: pregnancy unlikely Detailed Answer: Hello, First, you have had unprotected sex with your gf 4 days after her period. It means she was unfertile at this time. Also, she has taken unwanted 72. So, pregnancy in this situation is unlikely. The second time you have had protected sex on 3 rd march. Since, it was protected, again pregnancy is unlikely here. So, both ways I do not think your gf is pregnant. The delay in her period could be duet to intake of unwanted 72. Please wait for a week more to get her periods. She should get it soon. Else, you can repeat the pregnancy test after a week. Regards,

Brief Answer: don't worry about pregnancy Detailed Answer: Hello, I have re-read what you have written. Again, it is unlikely that she is pregnant. So, you don't have to worry about pregnancy now. The period can be delayed from 7 to 10 days with use of unwanted 72. The pregnancy test is negative twice. Please wait for a week more as I have suggested. If she still does not get her periods, then it is better to do ultrasound of the uterus to look for other causes of delayed periods. No need to repeat urine pregnancy test again as the second test is also negative that was done today. Regards,
