Hi so i have a serious question to ask... i took 2 emergency contraception in a week and got my period a week later but its lasting longer than usual.. it was usually 4-5 days now im on my 6th going on 7th day. .. should i be worrying about this?

Not to be worried. It is reassurance that it is working. With taking it twice in one week, you could have more persistent period. However, the big question is why do you not take birth control on a regular bases if your intention is to prevent pregnancy and have consistent adequate protection rather than relying on emergency contraception?
