Hello Anonymous,
How long ago did this happen? When is your next period due?
There is little to no chance of getting pregnant when you have protected intercourse five days after completing your period. Conception happens when you have unprotected sex during ovulation. Ovulation generally occurs about 14 days before the start of your next period. Five days after the last day of a menstrual period is too early for ovulation to occur.
Taking Postinor 2 within 24 hours of unprotected sex is about 95% in preventing pregnancy.
If you do not get your period within three weeks of taking Postinor 2, test for pregnancy. Breakthrough bleeding can sometimes occur two to three days after taking the pill. That may explain the spotting. The lower back and abdominal pain may not be related to taking Postinor 2, I don't know.

Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for replying with more information. The spotting is most likely breakthrough bleeding related to taking Postinor 2. If the lower back and abdominal pain do not go away in the next two days, give your primary care provider a call.

Hello Anonymous,
If you are having a menstrual flow that lasts a several days, similar to when you have your monthly period, then you are not pregnant and you know that the pill worked.
I hope this calms any concerns that you may have.
