Hi, I understand your concern. * The emergency contraceptives act by postponing ovulation. They are to be consumed maximally within 72 hours of unprotected sex. You seem to have taken them in time- so mostly, you wont conceive.The pills are high dose hormones, the following sex also s likely to be without conception. The bleeding / the strange feeling,in that case can be explained as side effects of hormone. * the possibility of conception lies only if you had taken the day after pills late. * To test for pregnancy by blood HCg method arround the expected mense/ 20 days following the first sex- will be ideal to exclude pregnancy. Thanks.
