Hi..
Thanks for the query..
Backpain with emergency contraceptive pill that too after a week is unusual..
It could have been due to some other reason..
If your cycles are regular 28 day cycles you were fertile during the intercourse..
Don't worry.. Emergency pills give 99% protection against pregnancy when taken within 24 hrs..
But taking them frequently is not good..You can opt for a regular contraceptive method or a barrier like condom..
In a 28 day cycle period between 9-19 days starting form day 1 of menstruation are fertile..
Hope I have answered the query.. Take care..
I find this answer helpful
