Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
You are getting heavy withdrawal bleeding (similar to period) due to effect of emergency contraceptive pill, causes hormonal imbalance. It is quite common and natural phenomena.
Most women get this type of bleeding after taking emergency pill. It generally stops automatically within 3 to 5 days and NO treatment is required.
However, you bleeding is heavy and continues for last 12 days. Here, I suggest you to take TRANEXAMIC ACID group of drug (like PAUSE etc) to arrest bleeding and keep watching the nature of bleeding.
Additionally, one pelvic ultrasound scan will be worthwhile to rule out pelvic pathology (if any). You should maintain genital hygiene properly and avoid sexual activity for at least 1 month.
Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.
Wish your good health and practice safe sex in future.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for followup queries.
It is already 12 days and I DON'T suggest you to wait another 1 to 2 days as your bleeding is still heavy.
You should start taking above medicine (PAUSE 500 mg thrice daily) from tomorrow and consult with your doctor to proceed one ultrasound scan.
Hope, it helps for you. Kindly, close the discussion.
All the best and good luck.
