A member asked:

Taking emergency contraceptive pill after that the withdrawal bleeding is occur in5..6 days so tell me that the withdrawal bleeding is a proper sign of that i am not pregnant??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Since "emergency contraception" contains estrogen and progestin, like a "birth control pill", withdrawal bleeding "5-6 days later" may just be secondary to the withdrawal bleeding expected from the emergency contraception. Obtain a serum HCG test if your next expected period is delayed, to be certain about pregnancy.
