Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
You should take emergency contraceptive pill to prevent unwanted pregnancy. It is better to take it as early as possible after unprotected sex. If you take it within 24 hours it has higher success rate of 95%. However you could take it upto 72 hours , but its success will be less about 70%. There is no time to have sex that is completely safe period. Yes ovulation chances are less as it is about 20 days, but still ovulation can happen any time.
Medicinal abortion could have greater side effects than taking an emergency pill like I-pill. Therefore i would suggest you taking emergency contraceptive . Please use condoms or regular contraceptive pill for preventing further unwanted pregnancy in future. Don't use calendar method or safe days, they can be wrong many times resulting in pregnancy.

Refer to a gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
Good luck
