Brief Answer:
urine pregnancy test
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Its very common to have irregularities in periods after emergency pill intake.
But bleeding old blood for eleven days and that too after taking ethamsyl is not very usual.
So in my opinion do a urine pregnancy test and ultrasound and see for results.
If reports are normal then wait for the bleeding to stop in next couple of days and if it doesn't then visit your gynecologist with reports.
In case you have other questions you can contact me on health care magic.

Brief Answer:
wait for 2 days and then UPT is must.
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, i see your point.
In case you don't want to go for investigations then all you should do is wait up for another 2 days for the bleeding to stop and continue taking ethamsylate in prescribed doses.
But in case bleeding persists after that too then in my opinion at least do a pregnancy test and if positive then ultrasound.
Though you had your full period but still there can be a tubal ectopic pregnancy which is what I'm worried about.
I hope I have made everything clear.
Wish you all the best.
Take care.
