welcome to healthcaremagic
use other contraceptive method like condoms .if you are within 10 dayas oe onset of your period ,it is less likely you get pregnant
otherwise take emergency pills within 72 hrs of last intercourse .best will be to take within 12 hrs of last intercourse
consult gynecologist and get a check up and follow advice
