Hello and welcome,The pill helps prevent unwanted pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. The success rate is higher the earlier it is taken. So as of now, do not worry. The chances of pregnancy after a single episode of unprotected sex are low. Also, if the sex was outside the fertile days (usually day 10-20 in women with regular cycles) there is a natural protection against pregnancy. So in your case the chances of I pill failing are low.
