Hello dear
I understand your concern
You have taken Escapelle pill with in 24 hours of the sex.
It is highly effective in preventing the pregnancy (95-97% success rate).
So chance of the pregnancy only 0-5%.
Your period can be delayed by 10-12 days because pill cause hormonal imbalance.
So if your period will delay by more than 14 days then go for urine pregnancy tests and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy.
If you will be pregnant then still you can terminate the pregnancy by the abortion pill under the advice of the gynecologist.
Meanwhile avoid sex, take healthy diet, do regular exercise and drink plenty of water.
Hope this may help you
