Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
No Chances of pregnancy despite taking emergency contraceptive pill are very less & intake of emergency pill post unprotected sex should avoid pregnancy. Emergency contraceptive pill like unwanted 72 work by preventing imlantation of fertilized egg on uterus. It should be taken as early as possible. It is 70 % successful if taken 24-72 hours.
As you have taken the pill, You should now relax as pregnancy possibility is very less. intake of more pills is not advised
Use condom or regular contraceptive pill as method of conception in future. Taking more emergency contraceptive pills can cause problems like irregular periods, ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome & even infertility.
If your next period is delayed or missing you should do a pregnancy test to rule out possibility of getting pregnant.
Hope this information helps
