Your concern is understandable.
You have taken the Next Morning contraceptive pill within 24 hours of the unprotected intercourse. It has a very good result and you should remove the stress on your mind.
However, you can very well keep a watch on the early signs of pregnancy which are missing a period, frequency of urination, heaviness in the breasts and morning sickness(nausea and vomiting); though the last three usually appear only after 5-6 weeks of missed period.
Beta HCG pregnancy tests are available which can be performed from 2 days after the missed period, however, the reliable results of pregnancy test on urine is after 10 days of missed period.
Hence I advice you to go for the pregnancy tests after 10 days of missed period to have more reliable results.This further can be confirmed by ultrasonography. Mostly the results will show that you are not pregnant. However, if you turn out to be pregnant, and if in your country the Termination of pregnancy is legal, you can go for Medical Termination of Pregnancy. Now it can be effected by medicines also. Please do not go for across the counter medication. Have proper advice, prescription and guidance from an authorized doctor, lest you may have to face complications like bleeding and incomplete abortion and infection.
