General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

First of all, Sex immediately after menstrual bleeding had lower chances of getting pregnant.

Secondly, taking Postinor 2 drug in such close duration is also not advisable. You have taken it within 5 days of first exposure of pills.

As these tablets contain hormones which are responsible for bleeding. So, vaginal spotting is nothing but withdrawal bleeding due to Postinor 2 drug.

As far as pregnancy fear is concerned, no need to worry as bleeding itself rules out pregnancy. For surety, do urine pregnancy test if bleeding does not occur during next cycle.

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

Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
