Hi!there is nothing to worry about.its a normal phenomenon.the pill you took contains levonorgestrel(progesterone) which if taken before the ovulation takes place, can cause what we call "progesterone withdrawal bleeding" after few days of its ingestion. its absolutely normal and there is nothing to worry about. but next time make sure to have some protection as post coital pills always interferes with normal menstrual cycle. tc! :)
