A member asked:

After how much time menstruation starts following post emergency contraceptive pill bleeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: It can vary, but usually a few days later there will be some withdrawal bleed. There could also be a delay in your period. It usually corrects itself next month. Emergency contraception is for emergencies, but you need to think about a better form of birth control.
