HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The use of emergency contraception can result in changes to the menstrual cycle and bleeding.

Because you used it within 24 hours, it should be effective in preventing pregnancy.
It would be best to use a consistent form of contraception to prevent pregnancy.

I hope this helps
