See theoretically speaking you took it within the time interval of 72 hour

You took it within 4 hours, which is still within the most protective window for this pill even right at ovulation.
Next Steps
If your period doesn't come around when it's due, take a home pregnancy test to check.
Health Tips
No emergency pill works every single time, so this test is the only way to be sure.
