Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through your description I can understand your concerns.
The chance for getting pregnant is extremely rare in your case, I would say it is almost impossible!.
You had intercourse on 28th and 29th which are 2nd and 3rd day of your menstrual cycle respectively. Generally ovulation takes place at the middle of your cycle, that is between 12th and 16th day. So the probability of fertilization(fusion of male and female gametes) is almost nil in your case.
Coming to emergency contraceptive pill,there is a slight risk of getting pregnant even after taking emergency pills,Let us say one in thousand is the failure rate. You don't need to worry regarding this because pregnancy is theoretically impossible in your case.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
