Hi dear and thanks for your query.

Dont worry so much because you have used an emergency contraceptive pill within 12 hours,wheres its effectiveness is very high.
Have brown blood may be from hormonal imbalance from the use of I-pill.
To be sure 100% that you arent pregnant you should wait until the expected date of your next periods,than take a pregnancy test at home.
Please another time have a protected intercourse because use of I-pill can cause damage.

All the best
