A member asked:

Had unprotected sex a day after periods got over. then next day took a pill and now after 1 week i am facing a bleeding. please advise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Which pill?: I assume the "pill" that you are referring to is some type of emergency contraception, usually high dose depo progesterone and YES, bleeding is a side effect. Since you did have unprotected intercourse, do a home pregnancy test and consult your GYN.
