Period medicines?
If you took it within three days you should be fine, better if it was the next day or sooner. The emergency contraceptive is more effective the sooner you take it after discharge.
It will also mess up your cycle so your period might not come when you think it should.

I'm assuming you took the morning after pill. Like any other form of birth control, it's not 100%, the only form of birth control that is 100% is keeping your pants on and your legs crossed. Since you didn't do that, yes, pregnancy is possible, even with the morning after pill, even if you were on the birth control pill, and used a condom, and used another form of birth control. If you're having sex, you can get pregnant. If you're not ready to get pregnant, don't have sex! It's really that simple It's not brain surgery.
The morning after pill can mess up your period. You can get it early, or miss it, or get a period that doesn't seem to end. Any bleeding you have doesn't mean you're not pregnant, it's likely the effects of the morning after pill, it really messes up your body. So wait 2 weeks, then test using first morning urine. If that test is negative, wait another 2-4 weeks, then test again with first morning urine. Keep testing until your body regulates itself and you get a normal period It can take months for some women to know they're pregnant.
If you're not ready for a baby, stop doing things that make babies.

From correspondence I had with the poster I have additional information. She did take the Emergency Contraceptive Pill after an out and another one 12 hours later. The period medicine is a drug called Diane 35 which, according to the Canadian health guide, is used to regulate hormones that can cause bad acne in women but was prescribed to encourage periods when they're absent.
In light of this, read Alty's post. She covers it nicely.

Most birth control methods need to be prescribed. You should talk to your doctor about what you should do next. There is a huge language barrier here and I think he would be a better resource for you.
Failing that, the oral contraceptive will cause a few irregular periods. This is your body dealing with the hormones in the pill and trying to gain control and start regular cycles again. You should follow the instructions on your birth control pills. They usually say to start them at the start of your period.
Please remember that we're all volunteers here and all but one of us has had no medical training. I just have a minor in biology from my university. I know enough to be able to decipher a lot of stuff out there.I don't know specific drugs or how you should take them. That is what your doctor is for and he's a much better resource than the internet.

Oops! You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to CravenMorhead again.
I couldn't agree more. Any questions you have really should be addressed by your doctor. Your doctor knows you, knows your medical history, knows all medications you're taking, or have taken in the past. It's really best to talk to your doctor. Also, if you're going to start the birth control pill, which is a good form of birth control, you'll need a physical exam before doing so. We can't do that online.
I will caution you that the morning after pill is not a form of birth control. It's an emergency contraceptive, it was invented for women whose regular birth control method failed (a ripped condom, a missed pill) and for rape victims that didn't want to carry a child that was sired by their rapist. It's not a pill you should be taking every month to deter pregnancy. Long term use is dangerous with this pill.
If you want to have sex, you should be on birth control, you should be using at least two forms of birth control (the pill and a condom is a good combo). But even then, pregnancy is possible. So really, if you're not ready for a baby, and really don't want to chance a pregnancy, it's best to not have sex until you are ready.
