Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Emergency pills have to be taken in a period of 48 hours after an unprotected intercourse. In your case it’s already over twelve days and thus emergency pill doesn’t work at all. Keep in mind the that it is not necessarily leads to pregnancy as not every intercourse leads to pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
