Brief Answer:
Almost nil chance of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I pill has the side effect of delaying the next expected periods by 2-3 weeks.
Moreover, i pill, if taken within 24 hours of unprotected intercourse, prevents the pregnancy in 95-98% cases.
so, the chances of pregnancy are almost nil in your case.
Back pain and tiredness can be due to various causes including exertion.
I will suggest you to not to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
Withdrawal bleeding due to pill, almost nil chances of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, such symptoms can also occur due to the hormonal effect of the i pill.
You can get a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy and be doubly sure.
The bleeding you had for 5 days was the withdrawal bleeding due to i pill and is suggestive of the efficacy of the i pill in preventing pregnancy.
