After going thorugh your queries first i say that be calm and plz make sure that next time u definetly use protection.
As per your query there is no harm and you can take within 72 hrs of unprotected sex . But it is better to take it within 24 hrs of unprotected sex.
Your period will be on your due date most probably or may be slughtly delay 2-3 days.
Again saying that plz use protection next time .
If not in said days then you have to see your gynae doc.
Hope this will clear your doubt and help you lot.
Best wishes for your health ...
