I had started my period on 18th february 2023 and they lasted for 4 days. On 22nd february 2023 I had unprotected sex with my husband and soon within an hour I had taken unwanted 72 tablet since he ejaculated inside. I am concerned whether I will be safe from pregnancy.

It's good that you took the unwanted 72 emergency contraceptive pill within an hour of having unprotected sex. This pill is effective in preventing pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. However, it is not 100% effective, and there is still a chance of pregnancy. Since you just had your period, it's less likely that you are ovulating and the chances of pregnancy are lower. However, there is still a small chance of pregnancy as sperm can survive in the body for up to 5 days. I recommend that you wait for your next period. If it doesn't come on time or is significantly lighter than usual, you should take a pregnancy test. It's also important to use protection during sex to prevent sexually transmitted infections. If you have any further concerns or questions, please feel free to contact me. It's always better to seek medical advice to ensure your health and well-being.
