Hi welcome to health care magic...
Emergency contraceptive pill for preventing pregnancy are highly effective if taken within 72 hour of unwanted intercourse....
Now you had period, so no chance of pregnancy....
If period is delayed (Which is main sign of pregnancy) than Hcg estimation done
Here as you have periods as per history, so no need for doing pregnancy test
Take care
Hope this will help
Advise : Gynecologist consultation for examination and further work up if needed
