Hello,

If you are in fertile period you have to take emergency contraceptives pill as soon as possible within 72 hrs. In a cycle of 28, 14 days are safe counting, from day 1, 7 days after and 7 days before, the 1st day of periods are safe.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
