Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER! A common side effect of Postinor 1 and other types of emergency birth controls is a delay in your period. Sometimes spotting is also a common side effect of emergency birth control. That is very possible that is why you had a little spotting on December 9.
Since you are not too far over the day of your period, I wouldn’t consider it a huge concern for pregnancy. Especially, since you took Postinor 1 within the recommended time. It is an effective drug in preventing pregnancy. However, I wouldn’t use emergency birth control often or as your main form of birth control. If you plan on continuing to have unprotected sex, I would recommend getting on some form of birth control like the pill or patch. That will help ease many pregnancy fears.
Keep an eye out for your period within the next few days to week. It should still come sometime within then.
Please let me know if you have further questions and I hope this has helped.
