General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

You have taken the emergency pill correctly in the first 24 hours so you are safe of unwanted pregnancy.

The emergency pills are highly effective when taken within 72 hours. Using emergency pills doesn't mean that you will necessarily have bleeding as a sign that it has worked.

I would recommend you to take another contraception method for the rest of the month in order not to use frequently the I pill.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Olgeta Xhufka , General & Family Physician
