If it is her actual: period than she isn't pregnant. Potential Side effects w emergency contraception include menstrual flow changes (spotting, bleeding, early or late period). Take pregnancy test & notify Dr if period is 7 or > days late.

Emergency birth cont: Temporary cycle disruptions are common and normal after taking emergency contraception. Always check a pregnancy test about 2 weeks later to make sure it worked
