Detailed Answer:
Hello Girban
Thanks for writing to us
There is almost negligible chance of pregnancy.
You did intercourse on 7th day counting form 1st day of last menstrual period.Generally ovulation occurs on 14th day counting from first day of last menstrual period,so fertilization is not possible in your case.
Moreover you took emergency contraceptive pills within 72 hours,this also minimizes chances of pregnancy.Emergency contraceptive are highly effective drugs if taken within the time.
You don't worry.There is almost no chance.Bleeding was due to unwanted 72 tablets.
Hope i have answered your query.
