is it true that if start taking within 72 hours after sex, pregnany would be prevented? of course, finishing the whole cycle and not missing even one.

No it wouldnt work. It takes about a week of taking the pill for it to even start being affective in your body.
Taking it 72 hours for time after sex would only work if it was the morning after pill.

i think what you mean is taking the pill as emergency contraceptive(EC). there is another direction for use when taking it within 72 hours after sex. i think finishing the whole cycle even not missing 1 is effective. the direction for taking depends on the brand of pill used. not all brands of oral contraceptives can be used as EC
see http://ec.princeton.edu/ for information you need about emergency contraceptive

No, it would not work. It takes time for the pill's hormones to get into your system.
You would have had to have been taking the Pill for at least a month at the time you had sex for the pill to prevent pregnancy.
