What Causes Prolonged Bleeding After Taking Next Choice?

Addi: Hi, I had sex on July 23rd and we did use a condom with no visible breaks or tears. Being paranoid, since it was my very first time having sex, I took Next Choice (Plan B s similar contraception) anyway. I got my period about 6 days later on the 29th, and today being the 8th of August, I m still having some bleeding, but it s not heavy like it was on days 1-7. It s much lighter. I m just wondering if it s normal to still be bleeding, When my periods normally last only about 6-7 days, and it s going on 11 days now. Thanks.

Emergency contraception may cause such prolonged bleeding.
Please dont worry.
If it lasts for more than 5 more days, please see a gynecologist.
Take care.
