Hi welcome to health care magic

You have been given levonorgestrel drug for preventing conception.....
It is commonly used as emergency pill in many country

This pill can lead spotting or vaginal bleeding as side effect....

But you have spotting since week...

So you should consult gynecologist for examination like pelvic and per speculum examination....

If needed USG done....

If next period delayed than pill failure might there and pregnancy test can be done

Hope this will help

Take care
