Your date of intercourse is on day 14 of the cycle. In a lady with regular cycles day 10 to 20 are fertile days, so she is likely to conceive with unprotected sex on 10 September. I will suggest you , that she should take i pill with in 72 hours of intercourse, means before 13 September. It is advisable to take it as early as possible. Please use it with the advise of gynaecologist only. And try to use barrier contraceptive -condom to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
