HI,
Welcome to healthcare magic. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

I have read your notes. Since you have had unprotected sex in the fertile period, there is a possibility of pregnancy. The chances of getting pregnant are 1 in 5 (20%).
Emergency contraception like ipill reduces the chance of pregnancy by 97%. It needs to be taken within 5 days of unprotected intercourse. The earlier it is taken, greater is its efficacy.
If you wish you may consider copper IUCD insertion to prevent the possibility of pregnancy. It needs to be inserted within 5 days of ovulation date. It can be continued as a contraception.
I hope this is helpful.
If you have further concerns, do contact me through healthcare magic.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
