Brief Answer:
Side effects of ipill

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
All this is due to upcoming periods which might get delayed due to ipill intake and the spotting you had so nothing to worry and just wait for your periods now.
If the pain is severe take paracetamol tablet for the time being.
And in future avoid such a frequent use of ipill which is an emergency contraceptive measure and not a routine drug.
It has high dose progesterone which can severely derange ovulation and periods for 2-3 months even.
Take care
