Thank you for the question and thank you for visiting our site.
Emergency contraception technically only works when taken BEFORE ovulation as one of the ways that it works is by delaying ovulation. It is impossibly to say on which day you conceived as the days of intercourse were so close together. It will be important to have an early ultrasound at which time, based on how far along you are, you can look backwards and make some assumptions about when you actually conceived.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
