Side effect...: The morning after pill can cause irregular bleeding, spotting or brown discharge. It doesn't mean anything bad, its just a side effect of the pill. Best wishes!

Common: Its very common to have some unusual bleeding associated with the EC pill and often times about a week later. However, since even at 17 hours the best rate of effectiveness is 75%, make sure you check a pregnancy test in about a week.
