Hello dear
Understand you concern
Yes microgynon can be used as a morning after pill but should be used as below:
1. Should be used as early as possible after sex or with in 72 after sex.
2. Fist you have to give 4 tablet microgynon and after 12 hour another 4 tablet.
So if you gave as per above then it is effective in preventing the pregnancy.
But it also has some failure rate and chance is high as you took after 3 days of sex.

So my advice is to wait for next period. If period will delay by 12-14 days then go for pregnancy diagnosis by home pregnancy kit and or Blood HCG.
If your test will come positive then still you can terminate the intrauterine pregnancy by using abortion pill under the advice of gynaecologist.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
