What Are The Side Effects Of Emergency Contraceptive Pills?

I took plan B immediately after my boyfriend ejaculated inside of me, and 1 day later, I experienced light spotting which turned into a heavier flow for just under a week. It s been two weeks since I have taken the pill, and I am now suffering from mild to extreme nausea, shortness of breath, extremely sore breasts, and bloatedness. I took a pregnancy test yesterday, which came out negative. When should I take a pregnancy test again, considering my period the day after plan B was 3 weeks early?

Hello,
There are only short term side effects which include nausea,vomiting,headache,breast tenderness,lower abdominal pain etc.
There is no need to take any pregnancy test because you had withdrawal bleeding after taking pills and pregnancy test was negative.
The period you had was withdrawal bleeding due to consumption of emergency ontraceptive pills.
Thanks
