Hi,
Normally, unwanted 72 is a very effective pill, if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex and more so, if taken within 24 hours of act of sex. As you have already taken the pill just after 4 hours of sex, the same should be effective >98%. Normally the bleeding should occur within 3 days denoting the successful action of pill in preventing the pregnancy.
However, in a few cases, the bleeding may be postponed up to 7 days also. Therefore, you should wait for a withdrawal bleeding up to 7 days. If the bleeding is not there, even after 7 days, of taking the pill, then an HPT is advised to confirm or rule out the pregnancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
