What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy After Taking Ipills?

I had sex with my bf on 23th October. The condom just leaked. I urinated soon after we realized it, I urinated and took unwanted 72 with 12 hour. My periods should have come normally on 27th. Does unwanted 72 delay periods? If yes then how long? Will there is chance of pregnancy? I am really worried. Please help me.

Hi,
If you had the intercourse 4 days before your expected period, you are safe and did not need emergency contraception at all. This is because ovulation occurs two weeks before the expected period and this week is the fertile period of a cycle; the rest is safe. The emergency pill contains high doses of hormone and as a result, you may see some withdrawal bleeding and/or a delayed next natural period by a week or two. Please get help if you are overdue by more then ten days. Take care.
