Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
Taking the morning after pill within 24 hours of unprotected intercourse is 99% effective against pregnancy. So you need not worry about pregnancy.
Bleeding a few days later is a common symptom and does not indicate pregnancy .
You can do a urine pregnancy test 21 days after taking the pill, to confirm you are not pregnant.
You need to consider some other long term contraception to prevent a similar situation in the future. There are a lot of options available, pills, implants , intrauterine device.
Do not worry.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
