A member asked:

Implantation bleeding or side effect of morning after pill, how do i know?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Side effect: Emergency contraception is associated with breakthrough bleeding that might occur a couple of days later. You should check a pregnancy test now and again in a couple of weeks to be sure. Expect that your next period might be slightly delayed as well.
