Hi, I think it is a very common thing to get slight bleeding after taking emergency pill. It can be withdrawal bleed. So, don't worry about it. It will go away. If your periods get delayed, do a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. If negative, you can wait for one more week and repeat the test. If negative, you can take some medicines like meprate or deviry for inducing periods.
