Hi
You did not mention whether you have regular cycles or not. Since you have PCOD I am answering your concern pesuming you have irregular cycles.
With irregular cycles it is difficult to predict the timing of ovulation and hence fertility period. So 5th could still be your fertile period. Therefore you should take emergency contraception again to avoid pregnancy. Even intrauterine devise can be inserted within five days of unprotected sex as emergency contraception. It is more effective than emergency contraceptive pills and has the advantage that it can be continued as contraceptive method
If you wish to avoid pregnancy I advise you to discuss with your doctor and use regular contraception like intrauterine devise or hormonal contraception. These are more effective in preventing pregnancy than emergency contraceptive pills.
In addition please use barrier contraception like condoms to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
