Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You can wait for 2-3 days.
Pregnancy is not possible due to sex in mentioned duration.
You did sex one day before the expected day of period. By this time ovum is not viable for fertilization. Moreover you had protected sex with condoms.So,you don't worry. There is no chance of pregnancy.
Period may be delayed some times. It may be delayed even in ladies who have regular period.
No need to take unwanted 72.
Take Care
