Brief Answer:
Minimal chances of a pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
29th January was day 12 of your cycle, when there is a possibility of ovulation, however you took the I pill, so that risk is reduced.
Also, when taken within 24 hours of unprotected sex, the I pill is more than 95 % effective in preventing a pregnancy.
3rd February again was day 16 of your cycle, again there is a possibility of ovulation at this time, but you used a condom, and there was no breakage / slippage.
Chances of leakage during sex are negligible, and if it happened, you would have surely realized the spillage of semen .
The slight bleeding you had around the 3rd of february would be withdrawal bleeding due to intake of the I pill.
What you saw today, could be an early / deviant period, which also happens often when you take the I pill.
Just to be sure, please take a pregnancy test around the 18th of February ( after a week ).
Chances of pregnancy are negligible, dont worry.
All the best
