General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As you said you took the tablet at the time of the unprotected sex, at that time the baby was not yet formed, neither the process was there, so most of the times it does not cause any major problem. Two tablets won't make any big problem. So I hope nothing is grossly wrong, just you can keep with your pregnancy routinely. Can have an early check up at 6 weeks about the fetal well-being.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman
