HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Emergency contraception can affect the menstrual cycle, the timing and the intensity of the bleeding.
Pregnancy tests can accurately detect pregnancy by day 11 to 14 after possible conception. You did the test on day 11, you can consider waiting a few days and then repeat.
I hope this helps
