Hello and thanks for the query,

The fertile period for her is from 2nd march till 12-13 march. These are the days when ovulation is most likely and if the periods are very regular 4th to 8th are most fertile. If you had this episode during these days the chances of pregnancy are high. Nevertheless they are not zero on the rest of the days.
So it is advisable to use unwanted 72 as soon as possible within 72 hours of the episode.

So do not worry. Just use the pill and it prevents pregnancy in 95% cases if taken within the stipulated time and most if within 12 hours.

Hope this satisfies your query.
