A member asked:
Took an emergency contraceptive the day after my last period and started bleeding 6days after. is it a side effect of the contraceptive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The hormones in the emergency contraceptive can alter the rhythm of menstrual cycle. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
