Brief Answer:
Pregnancy is unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
I am Dr Aslam here to help you.

The first 10 days of cycle(taking starting of menses as day 1) falls in safe period.So,probability of pregnancy depends on how many days you had bleeding- if your bleeding was less than about 9 days duration(that is,you had no prolonged bleeding),your coitus comes in safe period,and so pregnancy is unlikely.

If you have a more or less regular cycles usually,you need not take an ECP for this episode.
When needed,I suggest progesterone only pills like levonorgestrel to my patients,rather than high dose of combined pills.

Hope I have answered your query.If you have further questions,I will be happy to help.
Thank you.
