You can take emergency pill.
But taking pill frequently is not good for health.
Pill has high failure rate and pregnancy can happen despite taking the pill.
Do pregnancy test if you miss your period date.

Yes, you can take a second emergency contraceptive pill if you've had another exposure to unprotected sex, such as a burst condom. It works best the sooner you take it after the incident, and taking it a second time in the same month does not carry extra risk beyond what a single dose already carries.
Next Steps
Take the emergency pill as soon as you can today for the best chance it works. Expect your next period to arrive a little earlier or later than usual, and do a home pregnancy test if it's delayed beyond a week.
Health Tips
This isn't meant as a regular contraception method, so please talk to a gynaecologist about a reliable ongoing option to avoid repeating this.
