Hello,
After unprotected sex, if you took emergency contraceptive pills within 72 hours of unprotected sex, you need not worry. Emergency contraceptive pills are very effective if taken in time. It can cause hormonal imbalance so you can have scanty period, heavy period, your periods may go irregular.
Black blood is a sign of old blood that is coming out. It is indicative of blood that takes a longer time to leave the uterus and has become oxidized. No worries. You should watch for early signs of pregnancy. If you do not have any early sign of pregnancy, then don't take stress. Avoid anxiety, stress and take adequate rest, Take home-made food rich in iron, calcium and protein. You can take iron supplements.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
