For how long the bleeding will last after taking emergency contraceptive? – Dr. Shailaja N

It is not very uncommon for who has taken morning after pill to have irregular spotting or bleeding, sometimes lasting till her next period. This morning after pill doesn’t have only this problem, it also an impact on the next period. She may get it on time or it may get delayed or may come earlier than usual. However this bleeding problem usually settles once she gets the next periods. Only when the period is excessive. So it does stop at all, we need to treat the condition. Otherwise usually it is a self-limiting condition. Not to worry about this.
