Brief Answer:
Yes- it is normal to have bleeding a few days later

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and I hope I can help you today.

The morning after pill gives you a burst of hormones for about 72 hours which keep you from ovulating if you are close to your fertile time. If you do not conceive, the drop in hormones will trigger a mini-period. This may make your normal cycle come late, but it is a reassuring sign that you were protected against pregnancy.

I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful. If you need anything further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best wishes,

Dr. Brown
