Hello dear
Understand your concern
Side effect and bleeding after the pill does not rule out the pregnancy.
Side effects occur due to the high progesterone in the pill and bleeding is due to breakthrough bleeding.
But as you took with in 24 hour after sex, it will 95 percent effective in preventing the pregnancy.
Period may be delayed by 7-10 days after using pill as it prolong the second phase of menstrual cycle.
So if your period will be delay by 12-14 days then go for pregnancy test and or Blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy.
Hope this may help you
