Hello,
Thanks for letting us know your health concern. I have gone through your query and would like to offer my opinion. In the current scenario, you did not need the emergency contraceptive pill in the first instance as you were in the safe period when you had the intercourse. Ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next cycle and this is the fertile period when an unprotected intercourse can cause conception. So, you are not pregnant. As the emergency contraceptive pill contains high hormone dose, the hormone milieu is disrupted and this has caused the withdrawal spotting and also delay in the next natural period. Please get further help from your health care provider if you become overdue by ten days. Take care.
