Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

1. As you had the regular periods on 13 th december ( 2 days after intercourse), you could not become pregnant. In addition, he used condom.
2. Emergency contraceptive pills are not necessary in such situation
3. It is usual in some women to have heavy bleeding or spotting after taking emergency contraceptive pills before the next due for period.
4. This is not a sign of pregnancy.
5. You can expect your next period on date or earlier than that. These are all due to the hormonal changes due to intake of emergency contraceptive pills.
You should know that emergency contraceptive pills are nothing but hormones.

It is not advisable to use the Emergency contraceptive pills regularly. Please use condom like barrier methods in such unavoidable situation.

Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
