Brief Answer:
Pregnancy is there

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Bleeding after intake of unwanted72 is due to hormonal effects on the uterine endometrium.
However, if your urine pregnancy test is positive, then the unwanted 72 has failed to stop pregnancy. You should consult an OBGYN specialist if you want to terminate the pregnancy, as it can be done by medical method using medicines mifepristone and misoprostol at this stage.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
