Irregular: Period likely related to hormonal changes induced by emergency contraceptive. ECP are usually effective when taking within72 hours

Normal: Bleeding and spotting after taking the morning after pill are common side-effects. It doesn't mean anything bad. The success rate is at least 85% and the bleeding doesn't change this. Best wishes!
