Brief Answer:
Almost nil chances of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

I pill is effective 95-98 % times in preventing pregnancy, if taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.

Bleeding due to I pill will occur within 5-7 days of it's intake.

If the bleeding occurs, then there are almost nil chances of pregnancy. I'll suggest you not to worry.
White discharge is common after I-pill due to its hormonal effect.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
Feel free to get back in case of any further doubts.
