What Causes Vaginal Bleeding After Having Levonelle?
I took levonelle and a week later I had period-like bleeding for 4 days. I'm due my period and have been having stomach and back cramps which I've never experienced before. I don't know the exact date im due but I think I could be late. Is there a chance I could be pregnant?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you took it within the first 72 hours, then it is likely that it would have been effective at preventing pregnancy.
The use of hormonal contraception can cause changes in menstruation in some cases. It can cause irregular bleeding or change the intensity of the period.
This is the likely cause of the bleeding that you experienced after.
If you still wish to exclude pregnancy ,a test can be done at approximately 11 to 14 days after possible conception.
I hope this helps
