Hello Anonymous,
An emergency contraceptive is effective in preventing pregnancy if taken within 72 hours or 3 days following unprotected sex.
You took it as recommended and had vaginal bleeding three days later. That being stated, I do not think that you are pregnant. The missed period this month can be the result of taking an emergency contraceptive. Changes in the menstrual cycle is a known side effect of the pill.
I am concerned, as you are, about the symptoms of fatigue, tense abdominal muscles and abdominal pain. Pain that prevents you from exercising and excessive fatigue are symptoms that need to be evaluated by a physician. I suggest that you consult your doctor.
