Hi
Yes you are pregnant. Morning after pill is not 100% effective. The method can fail in some women despite taking medications correctly. That is what has happened to you.
I would advise that whenever you wish to avoid pregnancy it is better to use hormonal contraception or intrauterine devise rather than emergency contraception as they are more effective in preventing conception.
I find this answer helpful
