After taking ipill it is a common side effect to have spotting.It will be mostly a minimal bleeding as a result of withdrawal effect.But the failur rate of ipill being 1.2-2% it's better to confirm once with the UPT test or beta HCG.
Next Steps
Urine pregnancy test or Beta HCG to be done

Since Ipill is hormonal pill, it may causes withdrawal bleeding., which may be the reason for your spotting
Frequent consumption of ipill in a short period of time is not advisable.
Ipill wouldn’t be effective during fertile ovulation time.
I would suggest to wait for periods or withdrawal bleeding.
Be cautious of any heavy bleeding or abdominal pain since u have history of ectopic pregnancy; in such situation visit hospital immediately.

It could be withdrawal bleeding due to I pill
You should not take multiple i pills in same cycle
Use another method of contraception
Wait for a week for proper bleeding to start
Beta hcg should be done after missing your periods

It is withdrawal bleeding due to pill. Secondly you have intercourse just a week back so pregnancy can't be detected so early. You have to wait for you next periods of they are Missed then only pregnancy test needs to be done
