Taken Morning After Pill After Unprotected Sex. Brown Spotting Mid Cycle. Normal?

Hi, I had unprotected sex a month ago and took the morning after pill the following day. A few days later I had a very heavy period that lasted a week. I am now due my 2nd period and have experienced spotting (brownish sometimes with a little red in it) but nothing like a normal period. Is this ok? Also, be advised that I gave birth 9 weeks ago.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Emergency pill can cause menstrual disturbances like altering the period of menstruation and also they can cause inter-menstrual spotting.

Possibly this spotting will subside soon and you will resume your cycles.
Usually bleeding will stop after around 4 weeks from delivery.
Better to avoid emergency pills and choose some regular method of contraception like barrier method or progesterone pills to avoid future problems.
Take care.
