Taking it within three hours makes it highly effective, meaning your chance of pregnancy is very low. The light bleeding you are experiencing four days later is a very common, harmless side effect of the hormones in the pill resetting your cycle. It is not a sign of pregnancy, as it is much too early for pregnancy symptoms to appear. I recommend taking a home pregnancy test in three weeks.

It is very common to feel anxious when your cycle is disrupted, but please rest assured that emergency contraception frequently causes a delayed period. The hormones temporarily delay ovulation, which can shift your cycle by a few days to a week, usually returning to normal by the next month. The early bleeding you experienced is often spotting?a common side effect?rather than a true period. Because of this, a small risk of pregnancy can still exist. To give you peace of mind, I highly recommend taking a home pregnancy test if your expected period is more than a week late.

While mild shivering can sometimes happen, a high fever and severe shivering after taking mifepristone are not typical and could indicate an early infection or reaction. Breast tenderness is common due to ongoing pregnancy hormone changes. Please contact your healthcare provider or visit your clinic immediately for an evaluation. They can safely check your temperature and ensure you are okay. In the meantime, try to rest, stay hydrated, and monitor your temperature. Your safety and well-being are the top priority, and your medical team is there to support you through this.

Bleeding for a month after a medical abortion can sometimes suggest an incomplete abortion or hormonal changes, though an ongoing pregnancy is also possible. To know for sure and ensure your safety, it is very important to see a healthcare provider for a follow-up ultrasound or pregnancy test. Once the pregnancy is completely cleared, your normal menstrual cycle should return within 4 to 8 weeks. Please consult a doctor soon.

itchy bumps are likely razor burns or mild ingrown hairs. While Soframycin (framycetin) is a topical antibiotic, it is generally not needed for simple razor bumps unless there is an active bacterial infection. Using it unnecessarily can cause skin irritation. Instead, to soothe the area, try applying a cool compress, a fragrance-free moisturizer like aloe vera, or a mild over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to relieve itching. It is also best to pause shaving until your skin fully heals. If the bumps become very painful or red, please consult a healthcare professional.

Your negative pregnancy test is a very positive sign. Taking both Norethisterone and Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) introduces a high level of hormones into your body, which frequently causes menstrual irregularities and can easily delay your period by a week or more. While pregnancy is highly unlikely given the negative test, I recommend repeating a home pregnancy test in one week using your first morning urine. If your period still hasn't arrived by then, or if you experience severe pain, please consult a healthcare provider for a blood test.
