Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Emergency pill contain high dose progesterone. It can lead withdrawal bleeding and spot as well. It will remain for few days. Although emergency pill is very effective in preventing pregnancy, you have to wait for next period. If your next period is delayed then rule out pregnancy by urine beta hCG card test.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
