Brief Answer:
Chances of pregnancy nil
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Taking emergency contraceptive pill within72 hours of intercourse prevents the pregnancy in 95-98% cases.
I pill induces withdrawal bleeding within7-10 days of its intake.
You cannot exactly detect now that whether I pill has worked or not.
I suggest you not to worry, as chances of pregnancy are almost nil.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
