HI,
I understand your concern.
IF i pill is taken within 36 hours , it can prevent pregnancy .
The bleeding you have on 20th was a withdrawal bleeding due to disappearance of drug from blood. BUt being a high dose hormone interfering with the menstrual cycle.. menses tend to be disturbed ( late by 8-10 days )mostly you will get period by that time,
If you don't get it till then.. you should exclude pregnancy by UPT ( urine pregnancy test )..
Having taken the pills late, the contraceptive effect might have reduced.. & in case you are pregnant, you should go for MTP.( medical termination of pregnancy )
Thanks.
