Yes: The "morning after" meds are hormones. Depending on the timing of the meds related to a woman's cycle, some women have break through bleeding and others have lighter periods. It is important to remember that emergency contraception meds are for emergencies and are not to be used for maintenance contraception and are not protective for infection.
