A member asked:

On the next day of my last day of period a week ago i had sex & had contraception tab unwanted 72..today i am bleeding again..what is this happening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

EC: EC or emergency contraception will alter period for next one to two cycles. Irregular bleeding to be expected. Check with home pregnancy test 3 weeks after unprotected sex to determine if pregnant.
