Should I Be Concerned For Bleeding After Taking EC?
Hi I had unprotected sex and took an EC the day I was ovulating. However, I experienced lighter than usual bleeding 4 days before my expected period. Normally my cycle is 5 days. I am on the 6th day and its heavy and smells funny with slight cramping occasionally. Should I be concerned?
