Brief Answer:
Bleeding will stop in 7 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
This is the withdrawal bleeding due to the hormonal effect of the i pill.
This usually stops within 7 days.
There is nothing to worry.
No, the chances of pregnancy are almost nil if the pill was taken within 24 hours of intercourse.
The next expected periods can be delayed by 2 -3 weeks due to the hormonal effect of the i pill.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
