Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. If you have regular 28-30 day cycles, you had the intercourse just around the fertile period, though with lesser chances of conception. This is because ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next menstrual period and the sperms can remain active up to 72 hours after ejaculation. As you have taken the emergency contraception, you are adequately protected and need not worry. Please wait for your next natural period and if you become overdue by ten days, get help from an expert. Take care.
