Hi Anonymous,
Yes, you need to wait until her next period to be sure the event did not get her pregnant. And you also are right, emergency contraception only works up to 72 hours after unprotected sex. It is less likely that she will get pregnant from having sex two days before here period, but there is no guarantee that she won't--there actually is never a "safe" time of the month to have unprotected sex. It's best to use protection every time to avoid all the stress you're going through. Sorry for that.
