Brief Answer:
Avoid emergency pills in future as they cause irregular bleeding and have h

Detailed Answer:
Please do a blood pregnancy test asap. If it's negative you can't be pregnant from episode on 31 Dec. if in doubt wait for 3 days and then do the blood test.

However the chances of pregnancy are very, very minimal since you have used i pill within the stipulated 72 hours.

In future, it's best to use regular pills as condoms have a high failure rate and so is emergency pills.
