Hello
Emergency contraception is 95 % effective if taken within 24 hours of unprotected intercourse.
It is not 100 % effective, and should not be casually used everytime as a replacement for a stable form of contraception.
Please check for your pregnancy, if you miss a period.
It is not necessary to bleed after taking these pills always.
Take care.
