Welcome to healthcaremagic,
Postinor (levonorgestrel) is a very effective emergency contraceptive, the sooner you take the better the protection. As you had it within 72 hours there is more than 95% chance that you will not get pregnant.
As you already had your bleeding your chance of being pregnant are very rare. But for confirmation you can do a urine pregnancy test after 14 of having unprotected sex, which will give you a reliable pregnancy result.
Hope that answers your question.
Regards, Dr.Imaad.
