Hi, I understand your concern. I pill when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, avoids pregnancy. earlier the pill is taken better are the results ( protection )You had taken it within 24 hours of sex.. so you are sure to avoid pregnancy. I pill is a high dose hormone product. It acts by postponing ovulation. So there is hormonal imbalance in cycle & peroids are delayed by 8-10 days than normal. Please do not worry. You will get peroid in next weeks time. Thanks.
