morning after pill

I took the morning after pill recently as don't want to have another child. Had intercourse about 7 days after my period started. Is it possible I was ovulating and it was a dangerous time? I believe a woman ovulates about 11 days after her period but I didn't want to take any chances. I am not on the pill as we have used the rhythm method for about 6 years without any problems. When we decided to have a baby we used an ovulation kit to determine my right time and within 2 months I was pregnant. Is the rhythm method suitable for contraception in my case? My stomach feels sore and bloated since taking the morning after pill yesterday, is this normal? I don't feel nauseous so far.

Women can ovulate at unexpected times, so there isn't really a safe time. The bloating is probably due to the morning after pill.
