Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read the description you have posted and understand your concern.
What bleeding happened following intake of Unwanted 72 is withdrawal bleeding, which states that you were protected against pregnancy with the intake of emergency contraceptive pill.
Following this, since you state that you had taken adequate protection during intercourse, you need not worry about pregnancy.
Your cycle pattern is going to change now after the bleeding which has happened due to the intake of Unwanted 72 and it would accordingly get postponed.
In case your periods are delayed by over a month, then you need to consult Gynecologist and get yourself evaluated for the cause.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
