1.2 days prior to periods and 2-3 days after periods are over are considered as safe period and having intercourse during this interval is extremely safe and there is no need to worry or panic and since you have taken i-pill within 72 hours thus chances of pregnancy is nill.
2. The bleeding you are referring to could be implantation bleeding [since withdrawal bleeding occur sooner] and most likely it could be your normal period since i-pill can prepone or postpone your period by a week and can also reduce the amount/quantity of menstrual flow.
PS. taking an emergency pill is always associated with menstrual irregularities, so practice safe sex and other reliable methods of birth control
3. to be sure take pregnancy test 4 weeks after last unprotected intercourse.
