Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Levonelle is an emergency contraceptive or morning after pill. Breast pain is a common side effect of this pill. You should take an anti inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen/acetaminophen for it.
As you have taken the levonelle pill within 8 hours of intercourse, pregnancy possibility is very less.
Next time use condom or regular contraceptive pill as method of contraception in future. They have better success rate in preventing pregnancy & have fewer side effects also. Regular intake of an emergency contraceptive pill or morning after pill could cause serious problems like irregular periods, ovarian problems & even in fertility.

Refer to a gynaecologist if problem persists
Hope this information helps
