Hello dear
I understand your concern
If you have did sex during fertile phase of period then only pregnancy is possible.
If there is slight intercourse then precum may enter into vagina and cause pregnancy.
You have taken plan B pill after 36 hours.
In your case it is upto 55-65% effective in preventing pregnancy.
But plan B pill itself cause delay in period by 1-2 weeks.
I would suggest to wait for period to come.
If period will delay by more than 2 weeks then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG tests to confirm pregnancy.
Meanwhile avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
