Does spotting always occur after taking an ec? is it normal not to have this side effect after taking the ec?

Different individuals do respond differently to EC. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD.

Up to 57% percent of women experience light vaginal bleeding after taking emergency contraception (EC). It is completely normal not to experience this side effect after using EC. However, one should consider a pregnancy test if she has not menstruated for several days beyond her expected menstrual cycle.
