Hello,
You can take 4 regular combined pill within first 24 hrs of sex and another 4 pills after 12 hrs to avoid unwanted pregnancy. It will give more than 95% protection against unwanted pregnancy. Sooner is better.
You will get a withdrawal bleeding within 5-7 days after taking pill and next period may be delayed for 1-2 weeks due to hormonal imbalance. Do a home pregnancy test if period delays more than 1 week from due date.
Good luck.
