A member asked:

Took the morning after pill 24 hours after unprotected sex, am i experiencing spotting or implantation bleeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe just spotting: If the urine pregnancy test (to be done 3 weeks after sex) is positive, then the spotting may have been implantation spotting. Getting a positive pregnancy test is the way to tell. Because an emergency contraceptive pill was taken, the spotting is more likely not related to any implantation.
