Hello dear
I understand your concern
Emergency pill is effective only for 72 hour after the sex.
As you did take after 72 hour then it will not protect against the pregnancy.
Wait for period to come as pill can cause delay in the period by 8-10 days.
If period will delay by more than 12 days then go for pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy.
If you will be pregnant then intrauterine pregnancy can terminate by the misoprostol and mifepristone under the advice of the gynecologist.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet and do regular exercise.
Hope this may help you
