Hi,
If the intake of the emergency pill was done within the stipulated time interval, chances of pregnancy are very less even if unprotected intercourse happens during the ovulation period. The spotting observed at present could be due to the pill as often menstrual disturbances are seen as after effects of emergency pill intake. As it contains excess hormone, it so disrupts the hormonal milieu that it takes some time for things to get back to normal. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
