Dear mayura.saphr, welcome to healthcare magic.
You had intercourse at cycle day eleven, which is probably the time of ovulation. Also you were a little bit late in taking the emergency pills after about 36 hours (during which they are 85% effective not 100%).
I cannot guarantee that you are safe from getting pregnant. As long as you have missed your period, you should have a pregnancy test, preferably a blood test. If the test is positive you should start Folic acid supplement and consult your doctor. If the test is negative, you may eitherwait for spontaneous menstruation or visit your doctor in order to prescribe you a progesterone to induce menstruation.
I hope these words were usefull to you and I wish you good luck.
