Brief Answer:
The chances of pregnancy are very less.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The chances of pregnancy are very less in your case.

If I- Pill is taken within 24hrs. of unprotected sex it is 95% effective.

As in your case you, had I-Pill within 24 hrs. The chances of pregnancy are very less.

So in my opinion you should wait for your next cycle.

If you are overdue for 7 days, then only you should go for a home urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to help you.

Good luck.
Regards
Dr.Richa
