Brief Answer:
No use of pills now

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
It is not possible to start oral contraceptive pills in the last phase of the cycle, as the ovulation has already occurred and there is no use of oral contraceptive pills now.
It is better to use barrier contraception like condom in this period.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
