Hi and welcome to HCM

If you have taken the emergency contraceptive within 48-72 hours of the unprotected sexual intercourse (which you have done), it should work in preventing pregnancy (provided you were not sexually active without protection after taking it). Anyways you got your periods within 10 days and this rule out chances of pregnancy. But if you had unprotected sexual intercourse after this and not taken any emergency pills then you might get pregnant.

Pregasure can be used to detect pregnancy, but it can be used if you happen to miss your periods. Use early morning urine sample to detect pregnancy. If two dark lines appear on the strip then it confirms pregnancy.

If pregnancy gets ruled out and if you are not ready for pregnancy, but intend to remain sexually active, you should consider getting started on suitable regular birth control measures to be protected (after periods). Be regular with birth control use as instructed. Avoid having unprotected sexual contact if you are not ready for pregnancy.
