It is right on schedule, neither early or late.Does this mean that i still might be pregnant?cause its been like 10 days so if the egg had been fertilized wouldn't it have been implanted in my uterus by now, meaning that i wouldn't have had my period?

So be happy, as I guess you didn't want to be.

Generally speaking getting your period is a sign of NOT being pregnant. You got your period, so why in the world would you take that as a sign that you could be pregnant?
Just because you had unprotected sex does not mean that your egg was fertilized or that your were actually pregnant for even 30 seconds, let alone 'still' pregnant now. The morning after pill prevents the fertilized egg, if there is one, from implanting on the uterin wall. So IF your egg was fertilized then it did not implant. Since there was no implantation, the uterine lining is not needed and flushes away, hence your period. I really dont understand why you would think getting your period would mean you are pregnant.
For the future though, please do start using preventative measures rather than reactionary measures. Use condoms and another method, like the pill or foam and then you dont have to worry about these things in the future.
Good luck!

It's unlikely you're pregnant, but for future reference, you might find this video very educational:

If you haven't been to a gynecologist yet, it's time. Being sexually active and at your age, you should be checked out and consider all your birth control options.
I'd say if you're still nervous about it, buy a pregnancy test and read the directions on the box. If you don't use it this time, it might serve as a reminder to be sensible about birth control.
Take care.

I am 20 years old I have had a girl take the morning after pill the next day but I don't think you are but I would ask a professional doctore your 18 so they can't talk to anyone about it even to your parents just talk to a doctore

I dont think you can be pregnant. You took the morning after pill within 72 hours and you have had a period hence it is highly unlikely you could be pregnant.
But next time dont rely on the morning after pill as contraception! Go to your doctors for birth control and use condoms!
