How Long Will It Bleed After Taking Morning After Pills?
I had my last period December the 6th til the 11th, had unprotected sex on the 21st of December and took the livonelle 1step morning after pill less than 12 hours afterwards. I then started spotting the 25th and am due my regular period today.. I can't tell if I'm having my period or still spotting as it's lighter than usual. How long will I be bleeding for and when is my next period due?

Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
After taking an emergency or morning pill there will be some spotting. You will get your regular periods on time or may be little earlier or a little later. Your menstrual period may be altered for 1 or 2 months. If you do not get your period even after 1 week of expected date then I recommend you to do a urine pregnancy test.
As you have taken the pill within 12 hours, the chances of you getting pregnant are rare.
Hope that answers your question,
Regards, Dr.Imaad.
