Hello dear Understand your concern Pregnancy is not there in your case as Blood HCG, USG scan and Urine pregnancy test are showing negative result for pregnancy. As you have taken I pill with in 2 hours of sexual intercourse, it is highly effective in preventing the pregnancy. Heavy bleeding and spotting is a side effect of emergency contraceptive pill as it contain high progesterone and have taken twice in short period of time. Period may be delayed by 7-10 due to emergency contraceptive pill. Do not worry, your period will come. Do not use emergency contraceptive as regular contraception as it cause menstrual irregularity and hormonal imbalance. Hope this may help you
