Brief Answer:
No chance of getting pregnant.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
You had sex with your partner around 5 days and 3 days before your expected period.
That time you are not going to be ovulating, and hence, there is no question of a pregnancy.
Do you always have regular cycles ?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.

Hello Doctor.

Thanks for your answer.

I do have regular cycle. Also, I had high dose of aspirin tablets and 'Marvelon' tablets just for a safe side. Last night I vomited lots because of the side effects I guess. So I thought of sharing my concern and I know for sure that I cant get pregnant. Yet I'm scared.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Brief Answer:
As below

Detailed Answer:
Aspirin not work for the purpose of preventing a pregnancy.
Marvelon can work as emergency contraceptive at times, but there is no need for you to take it, as you were in safe period ( ovulation free period ).
Your next period might be altered because of high dosage of Marvelon.
Please dont worry.
You will get your period in a few days.

Great. Thanks for the relief.

No wonder, I'm waiting for my periods but there is no sign. I just have this nausea, vomiting & stomach discomfort because of those tablets.

Thanks once again. Have a great day. :)

Detailed Answer:
Hi .
Yes , you have taken a very high dosage of the hormones, so those side effects are magnified.
The periods also maybe slightly deranged because of that.
Keep in touch, whenever you need to.
Take care.
