Brief Answer:
No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I pill causes withdrawal bleeding within 5-7 days of its intake.
Spotting after taking I pill is due it's withdrawal effect. The bleeding can be slightly erratic and continue for few days.
I pill also delays the next expected periods by2-3 weeks.
You both should not worry if the I pill was taken within 24 hours of unprotected intercourse.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
