Hello dear
I understand your concern
Do not worry.
There is no chance of the pregnancy.
1. You took I pill within 2 hours of the sex and it if highly effective in preventing the pregnancy. (95-97%)

I pill does not protect against the second sexual intercourse. But
2. You had sex just 3-4 days after the period and it is completely safe period of the cycle.
During this period, no ovulation take place so no fertilization.

Your bleeding is a breakthrough bleeding due to progesterone withdrawal effect. (Side effect of I pill as it contain high progesterone).
It will goes in next 1-2 days.
Avoid sex, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.
Hope this may help you
