Hi Jennifer;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
Since your periods were from 18-24 of March if you have sex on 26th there is no chance to get pregnant.As for the bleeding it is because of the emergency contraceptive pill you took .These type of pills are hormonal preparations & induce bleeding making your periods to come on before time.The bleeding you have is of periods which have come on early .If it does not stop after 5-days then you need to consult a doctor.
Thanks
