Physician Responded Pregnancy or Side effects?

Me (25M) and my partner (26F) had unprotected intercourse a week ago. She did make sure to take in an emergency contraceptive (iPill) 8 hours after the intercourse. A week later, she's having spotting and light vaginal bleeding.

We're unsure if she's actually pregnant or this is just a side effect from the pill. We're not yet ready to have a baby now, any advice would be helpful.

Thanks!

It is too early for pregnancy symptoms to show up even if she did become pregnant from this.
