Brief Answer:
Low chances of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The chances of pregnancy is very low in your case.
First test for urine pregnancy test with pregakit at home. Read the instructions carefully on it and follow it as it is. Take first sample of urine in the morning and put drops in the kit, it will give you the confirmation. Most likely you are not pregnant.
Since you have taken emergency contraceptive twice and that too un necessaarily the periods are irregular and will take time to become regular.
So first urine pregnancy test and then we can decide what to do next.

Let me know the result.
