How effective is levonelle (morning after pill) if i took it on around day 17 of my menstrual cycle?

I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and took levonelle 9 hours after it happened, just very worried that im pregnant because my period isnt due for a week or so and really need to put my mind at rest! Is there a good chance i could be pregnant if i was around day 17 of my menstrual cycle? Thankyou

    There's an 89% chance you won't get pregnant. The sooner

    you take it the better it works. You can take it up to 5 days after it happened. You should be fine! It might cause a heavy period, but if your period didn't come when expected you should take a pregnancy test.
