Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. The emergency contraceptive pill provides ample protection when taken within the stipulated time interval after unprotected sexual intercourse, in any phase of the menstrual cycle. The pill, moreover, contains high hormone doses and this disrupts the hormone milieu thus causing menstrual disturbances. What you are seeing now is the withdrawal bleeding due to the pill effect. You can also expect your next natural period to get delayed by a week or two. If you become overdue by ten days, please get further help from an expert. Hope this helps.

Hello dear
Understand your concern
I pill is effective in preventing the pregnancy in 90-95 percent cases.
Bleeding after the I pill is normal. It is occur due to hormonal disturbance ( progesterone withdrawal effect) as it contain high progesterone level.
In 50 percent women, withdrawal bleeding will take place. It will just for couples of days.
SO I think it is due to I pill only if not around your period date.(you did not mention the period date).
You have to for pregnancy test (home pregnancy test with fresh urine sample in early morning) if your period will delay by 140-12 days from your normal expected period date.
Hope this may help you
best regards
Dr. Sagar
