Brief Answer: Consult gynecologist if bleeding continues Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic. Taking emergency contraceptive within 12 hours after intercourse will prevent pregnancy in majority of cases. The bleeding that you experiencing is the bleeding to dislodge the implanted ovum, in case conception has taken place. If the bleeding is prolonged, you need to consult your gynecologist for clinical assessment. If you have more queries, I will be glad to answer. Dr Shailja P Wahal
