Brief Answer:
You are less likely to be pregnant
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query and do understand your concern.
It is very difficult to exactly predict the safe period. But in your case as you have taken post contraceptive pills within 72 hour of unprotected sex, you are less likely to be pregnant. This agents are highly specific.
There is always chance of irregularities in the menses post intake of this agent. So I would say relax.
But it is wise to do UPT (urine pregnancy test) after 1 week of expected period and with morning sample of urine. Even though based on the information you are less likely to be pregnant, but I would suggest you to do UPT.
Hope this helps.

It is not possible to say, exactly when your period will commence.
You should relax, even anxiety delays the period.
As said earlier irregularities in menses do occur with post coital pills.
