Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
Emergency pills are very effective if it is taken within 12 hours. The sooner you will take more it will be effective It is 95% effective within 24 hours of unprotected sex, 85% between 25 – 48 hours and 58% if taken between 49 – 72 hours. Your periods were altered due to day after pill. Your periods will become normal in a couple of months.
As you had sex again on day 7 without protection, this may result in pregnancy though the chances are less. My advise for you is to do wait for your next period. If you get it then you are not pregnant. If you miss your period then do urine pregnancy test on an early morning urine sample by which you will come to know about your pregnancy status. Hope that answers your question.
Regards, Dr.Imaad.
