Hello dear
I understand your concern
You did not mention about your normal period date.
Spotting and delayed period is due to hormonal imbalance caused by the frequent use of the postinor 2.
It contain high progesterone and that cause prolong the second phase of the cycle and delayed cycle by 10-12 days or it may cause change in the menstrual cycle.
If your period will delay by more than 14 days from the normal expected period date then go for pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy as postinor 2 has 5-10% failure rate.
Hope this may help you
