Bleeding After Taking Emergency Contraceptive Pill. Chances Of Pregnancy?

Question: I had just finished my periods. I had sex with my boyfriend the day the periods ended. He accidently put on his condom the wrong way and then put it back the right way immediately. The condom did not tear however we didn't want to take a chance and i had an emergency contraceptive the next morning. 6 days later i my period started again with heavy flow and fresh red colored blood. I am worried something is wrong. Is this a sign of the pill damaging my system or pregnancy or anything else, please help. PS We made sure my bf did not ejaculate inside me, nor had he ejaculated before putting on the condom.Will this affect my period that was actually due later in its normal course??
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You need not be worried about pregnancy. If you had sex on the last day of your periods, then you are not in the fertile days. So pregnancy wasn't an issue.
Since you took the emergency pill anyways, you are having withdrawal bleeding now. That is not due to any damage to your system. You periods may be irregular for sometime. But in due course, it will become normal. However, frequent use of the pill will cause serious side effects and menstrual irregularities.
You may want to stick to a regular form of contraception. Its safer.
I hope, this answers your query. Please accept my answer in case you have no follow up queries.

Hello again,
Thank you for writing back.
Its not normal to get such frequent cycles but since this has happened due to the emergency pill you have taken, its normal.
Pregnancy after periods is extremely rare.
