Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. As you have taken emergency pill within 72 hours, its highly unlikely that you are pregnant. The chances of pregnancy is less than 1%, the abnormal bleeding which you had on 12,13 might be a side effect of progesterone which you took as emergency pill. As the pregnancy test is negative and as you have missed your period, kindly get a scan done, if everything is normal you can take progesterone tablets for withdrawal bleeding.
Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!!
