Bleeding that occurred 10 days after taking "morning after pill" is a proof that emergency contraception was successful. Spotting and irregular periods are expected side effects after using emergency contraception. That's why emergency contraception is not recommended to be done very often.
You can do a pregnancy test to make sure yourself that you are not pregnant. .

There is nothing 100% when human organism is in question. Negative pregnancy test is still more secure than withdrawal bleeding that happened after using emergency contraception.

If the test was done at least 2 weeks after the risky sex the results are valuable and you are probably not pregnant.

If you had any sexual intercourses after 6th June you should make another pregnancy test.
