Hello dear
Understand your concern
I pill is effective in preventing the pregnancy as you took with in 42 hour.
If you have taken I pill before the ovulation then it cause withdrawal bleeding or spotting with in 7-9 days after taking I pill in 50 percent women. It is due to progesterone withdrawal effect.
You have to wait for period. If period will delay by the 10-12 days from expected period date then you have to go for home pregnancy kit test to diagnose pregnancy. (chance is less)
Thus your spotting is due to I pill as it cause partial disruption of normal menstrual bleeding/inter menstrual bleeding.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
