Could the light bleeding and cramping I am experiencing after taking the emergency contraceptive pill Unwanted-72 be a sign of pregnancy, a side effect of the pill, and how will this affect when my next period arrives?
The light bleeding and mild cramping you are experiencing are very common side effects of the emergency contraceptive pill Unwanted-72 (levonorgestrel), rather than signs of pregnancy. This hormone dose temporarily alters your cycle, which can cause your next period to arrive a few days earlier or later than expected, and it might be lighter or heavier than usual. If your period is delayed by more than one week, or if you experience severe abdominal pain, taking a home pregnancy test or speaking with a healthcare professional.
