Can Contraceptives Cause Bleeding?

I had an emergency contraceptive for the first time around a week back. Since yesterday, i have been bleeding black blood. I thought it must be my periods, but I m yet to get my periods for another week technically. The bleeding is much lesser than my regular periods and there is not much pain and cramps. I m seriously worried. Can it be a side effect of the contraceptive? or is it something else? please help.

Hi dear common side effects of emergency contraception is bleeding,cramps, weakness, gastric troubles so that could be the possibility for that use Tab ibuprofen and iron supplements..also keep your self hydrated and take balance diet with green vegetables and fruits..I also advise you do urinary pregnancy test once you miss your periods by more than 2 weeks..as pills give 95% protection..
