Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
The emergency contraceptive pills taken after sex do cause irregular spotting and bleeding due to the high dose of hormones contained in them. You need not worry about the bleeding. It is not your normal period. It will stop in a few days.

Hi.



I'm suffering from the same situation as the above and i would like to know a few days meaning how many days? i've been bleeding for 5days. Another question is since it's not my period, does that mean that i would get my period as when it is due if i'm not pregnant? FYI, i took the pills within 24hrs. Thanks for answering. =)
