Hi. I am terrified, I had sex for the first time with my boyfriend, I am not even sure if his penis was inserted, however, we didn't use condom. I took the morning after pill and got the side effects of dizziness, headaches and fatigue. I know nothing about this, but my friends told me I could have my period late. Two weeks have passed and I am not supposed to get my period until the fourth, but I am completely paranoid about getting pregnant !!!!!!!! anyone with some experience in this???

If two weeks have passed since the risk, you can take a pregnancy test now and fine out for sure.
Unprotected genital contact also poses STI risks, so if you and your partner aren't up-to-date with your testing, you'll want to get caught up on that.
Would you like any help in figuring out how to protect yourself better next time?

Yes of course I'd like to know protection methods for the next time, as before this I was not sexualy active, but what I really want to know is how far does the Morning after pill avoid a pregnancy? Is it very effective?

EC can reduce the pregnancy risk by 75-89%, depending on how soon after the risk you took it. The sooner you took it, the better the chances that it worked.
But also, it sounds like you had a very small risk to begin with, if at all. So, I'd not worry too much. But again: at this point, you also don't need to fret, you can take a test and find out for sure.
