You have taken contraceptive pills well within the stipulated time after the intercourse. I hope it was taken in sufficient dose.
The bleeding you got after seven days was your menses due to the lowering of the hormones which were raised after taking the pills. That is why you did not get menses at the regular time.
Still if you are in doubt, you may get urine pregnancy test and/or ultrasonography done 8-10 days after the missed period for detection of pregnancy if any.
I feel you may not be pregnant.
