Hello,
Thanks for letting us know your health concern. You do not have to worry as your chances of conception are nil. Firstly, you had the intercourse during the safe period and secondly, you had the emergency pill within the stipulated time interval. You can expect some withdrawal bleeding as the pill contains high hormone levels. Your next natural period may get delayed by a week or two. Please see a specialist if you become overdue by ten days for further management. Hope this helps.
