Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Bleeding and spotting are common for next 7-10 days after the intake of the emergency contraceptive pill.
Moreover, you have got proper bleeding from10 January, which are likely to be your periods.
I would suggest you not to worry, and you can do a urine pregnancy test to be doubly sure.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
