If 72 hours have passed since the last sexual act there's no use taking an ecp. You can only wait and see if periods come or not.

There is always a chance of pregnancy. Every medicine has some failure rate.

If you had unprotected sex within 1 hour of I pill, then no need of another dose.
I pill also has a failure rate and that depends on what time of the period cycle it was taken. It is also a very high dose of hormone and can cause many side effects.
You must consult a gynecologist for a proper contraceptive advice. I pill shouldn't be used as a regular contraception.
Next Steps
If you miss your next periods, take a pregnancy test
