Brief Answer:
No chance of pregnancy within 72 hrs.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for writing to us.

According to last period date, you had unprotected sex in safe period and there is NO chance of the pregnancy in this case if previous cycle was quite regular.

I-pill is taken within first 72 hrs of unprotected sex. Protection and effectiveness will be higher if it is taken within first 24 hrs or soon after unprotected sex.

Hope this helps you. Good luck and take care. Practice safe sex in future.
