Brief Answer:
no need to take pill

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, I understand your anxiety related to the issue.
In my opinion there is nothing to worry and you dont need any emergency pill intake.
But still I would like to know your usual period length and in case you have a regular cycle of 28-30 days then nothing to worry there are no chances of pregnancy.
Take care
