What Causes Vaginal Spotting After Taking A Morning After Pill?

I had my period on the 5-15. A longer period than I m use to. I had unprotected sex on the 20th. And took the morning after pill on the 23rd. Today is the 30th and I am having some cramping and light red spotting. Is it possible I am having my period early because I took the morning after pill? Or is there something wrong with me going on?

Hi I think it can be due to side effect of the emergency pill. You can be having withdrawal bleeding. It is common after taking emergency pill. Don't worry about it. Don't take emergency pill frequently as it can have side effects on ovarian function. Hope it helps.
