A member asked:
Took levonorgestrel a few weeks ago, ever since, a day after i have sex i bleed for a week. is that a common side effect from the pill? why after sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bleeding: Irregular bleeding is common after using emergency contraception as it disrupts or delays ovulation. Always a check a pregnancy test 2-3 weeks after using emergency contraception to make sure that it worked. Consider starting birth control to prevent these types of scares in the future.
