Detailed Answer:
Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
As you had unprotected intercourse in the cycle there is always risk of pregnancy. If pregnancy present then you will not have withdrawal bleeding to meprate.
You can wait for atleast a week after stopping meprate.i.e till may 1st.

If no bleeding then please do a pregnancy test.
Please write back if any queries.
Thanks
