Brief Answer:
You need to take I-pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The chances of pregnancy are present. Even if you are not ovulating the sperms can remain alive for 72 hours. It is best to take an emergency contraceptive pill within 24 hours of unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
