Stupidly, I got drunk and repeated the incident a few days later. As silly as it sounds I didn't dare go back to the pharmacy cuz I was too embarrassed. About 6-7 days later I came on my period as normal. My first question is 'is it possible for me to be pregnant?'Secondly, now, only two weeks later, I'm back on my period again- this isn't normal. Plus, I've been looking into miscarriages and I seem to have all the symptoms?! I keep getting period-like cramps and my period has lots of 'clot-like' bits in it? Am I just being paranoid? Please help, actually quite scared. I know I'm stupid, I know all about STI/STD's etc, but I made a mistake and I just need some help.

You should have known all this before taking the pill - it would have saved you this worry. I don't think you were pregnant or having a miscarriage, what you're experiencing is completely normal after taking emergency contraception.

 Okay, stop panicking. That's not helping you. First of all, you sound like stress and worry has possibly given you worse than normal period symptoms. And if you took the morning after pill your hormones may be all out of whack.
Please go see your doctor and have a frank discussion about the birth control options that are available to you. You should have protection from pregnancy if you get drunk often and don't consider contraception. The problem is that STDs are a worry too. But you said you didn't want a lecture. Sorry, but golly gee darn it, you NEED one if you keep up with this immature, irresponsible behavior!!!!! The only one you're hurting is YOURSELF.

Please be sensible, you don't need this worry, do you?

 I think it would be best for you to see your doctor about this and stay away from unprotected for a bit.
Also take a pregnancy test; although it is possible that you could have miscarried the second time. But you'd have to pregnant first.
