A member asked:
My girlfriend took the contraception pill next days after the period ended, now after 6 days its bleeding...? why is this happening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Timing: The timing of the contraceptive pill is important, the longer from sexual encounter to taking the pill, more likely it won't work. If she's spotting now, she may be pregnant. Check a home pregnancy test to be sure. Repeat in a week if first is negative.
