Hi,

Firstly let me explain you that:

1) Emergency pills are to be taken only in extreme emergency situations not on regular basis.

2) These pills have lot of side effects of which bleeding is one. Its not a normal menses. The hormonal changes cause bleeding.

3) These drugs are to be taken with prescription and it would be better to be under supervision of a doctor.

4) Kindly report to a doctor if bleeding is excessive. Keep a watch about it.

5) Its always better to use preventive measures like using condoms, its the safest way to have a sexual intercourse, its protects you from STDs too.

In your case it appears minimal bleeding. But if there is excessive bleeding, that is more than 3 to 4 tampons for two days then you have to visit a doctor.

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

Regards,
Dr. Suhas Chauhan
