Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. I have gone through the query and would like to offer my opinion. You did not mention whether you had a natural period prior to the intercourse or after that. If you had a natural period after the sexual activity and the emergency contraceptive pill, you need not worry about pregnancy at all. Moreover, ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next period and you are naturally protected during the rest of the time. The emergency pill offers good protection when used within the stipulated time like you did; it contains high hormone doses and hence the menstrual cycle gets disturbed and delayed. Please get help from your health care provider. Take care.
