A member asked:

Had unprotected sex a day before my period ended took the after pill on the last day of my period and am now a week later experiencing bleeding ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common: emergency contraception commonly causes bleeding about a week after using it. However, to be safe in another week check a pregnancy test as emergency contraception isn't 100 percent effective. If doing this fairly regularly, I would get on birth control.
