Hello dear
I understand your concern
ECP is 90-95 % effective in preventing the pregnancy.
There may be chance of the pregnancy in 5-10 %.
If bleeding will come on the expected period date, then it could be a normal period.
If it is before the expected period date then it could be progesterone withdrawal bleeding.
Withdrawal bleeding is brown in color and just for 1-3 days.
If it was your normal period then chance of pregnancy is nil.
I would suggests to go for urine pregnancy kit and or blood HCG to clear the doubt of pregnancy.
Hope this may help you

Hello dear
I understand your concern
No contraceptive is 100 % effective for preventing the pregnancy.
It has a 10-15 % failure rate as you took ECP 50-60 hours after sex.
Period 4 days after pill is may be due to progesterone withdrawal or your regular period.
If it is not on normal menstrual date then it is withdrawal bleeding.
If your normal period will delay by the 8-10 days then go for pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy.
If you will become pregnant then still it is terminated by abortion pill.
Avoid stress, eat healthy diet and do regular exercise
Hope this may hep you
