Hello dear
I understand your concern
Ampicillin generally decrease effectiveness of the birth control pill and cause pregnancy.
But you have used postinor 2 with in 10 hour and also on regular use of the birth control pill, so there is no chance of the pregnancy.
No chance of the pregnancy as you used double protection.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.
Hope this may help you
