General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Most of the time, there is no reason to worry if you bleed after taking emergency contraceptive pills (also called "morning after pills"). Although not a common side effect, the hormones in the pills (either progestin alone or progestin combined with estrogen) can cause some women to bleed at unexpected times.
If that is the cause of your bleeding, it is not dangerous and you should expect it to go away by itself after you get your next period. If it present for several days and becomes heavier it would be a medical attention.
