Brief Answer:
Chances to be pregnant are zero

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for trusting to us.

I understand your concern but please be calm because you haven't chances to be pregnant:
first ,you took I-pill within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse ( it is up to 99.9% effective)
second ,you have periods after you have used it

Tingling breast and bloating may be due to hormonal imbalances caused from the use of I-pill.
Tiredness ,may be due to excess blood loss (10 days periods)
Hence go for a blood test to exclude anemia .
During this time try to use rich iron foods and fluids.

All the best
