Hello Don't worry. You can take emergency contraception till 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. You can expect your periods to come in their normal expected day depending in your cycle.

Please always have safe protected sex. You have taken an emergency contraceptive which is meant only for emergencies. Don't maker it a habit or treat it like regular contraception. You don't have to get anxious as you took the medication within 72 hours of having sex. We cannot give you an accurate date for your periods but they may be slightly delayed. All the best.
