What Causes Side Affects On Taking Morning After Pill?

Usually when I take the morning after pill I get no symptoms, but 24 hours after taking it I got these symptoms: Severe headache, fever, nausea, cold hands and feet, blood in sputum (very little), dark bowel movement, neck stiffness, joint pains, and a rash on my face. Is this normal after taking plan B (even though it s never happened before)?

Hi

These symptoms may not be due to the morning pill since these pills do not cause joint pain or neck stiffness or fever.

The cause is likely to be a viral fever.Recent history of any travel should be ruled out.The viral fevers endemic in your area should be ruled out.

Complete blood count ,bleeding time,clotting time ,prothrombin time and viral serology tests and abdominal ultrasound may be required to identify the cause.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
