Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
I would like to know, have you take the post contraceptive pill within 72 hour of unprotected sex.
Regarding the Deviry, it can take up to week in some individuals for the commencement of the period. So can wait for another 3 to 4 days.

Hope this helps
I'll be glad to address your further queries.
Take care.
