Brief Answer:
The chances of pregnancy are there.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I can understand your concerns.
The chances of pregnancy are there in your case as you had I-pill after 72 hrs.of sexual intercourse.
There is no medicine available to prevent pregnancy right now.
You have to wait for your menses.
Get your home urine pregnancy test if you missed your period.
If test results are positive than consult a Gynecologist and take abortion pills to terminate pregnancy.
Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more information.
Good luck.
Regards
