Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
The chances of pregnancy are very less in your case.
The pills are 86% effective when taken with in 72 hrs. after intercourse.
Next step pill is single dose emergency contraceptive pill.( no second dose).
Sometimes the pills are not effective in that case you should go for urine pregnancy test after 7 days of next missed period.
Hope I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to help you.
Good luck.
