Brief Answer:
No chances.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
Thank you for the query.
I have gone through your post and understand your concern.

A week before and after ovulation (ie from day 7 to day 21, if periods are of regular 28 days) is considered as UNSAFE period. Rest of days are considered as SAFE period.
4th day of period also comes under SAFE period.
There is no chance of getting pregnant if you have unprotected sex during this period.
I-pills are effective if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, which you have done correctly. This eliminates even the tiniest chance of pregnancy.

Kindly do not worry about getting pregnant.
Also practice safe sex in future.

Hope this helps you.
Take care, Bye.
