HELLO THERE.

YOU TOOK THE PILL AT THE RIGHT TIME SO CHANCES OF PREGNANCY ARE NOT THERE.
SPOTTING AND BLEEDING COMPLAINTS CAN OCCUR AFTER USE OF THESE PILLS. THEY CAN OCCUR FOR UPTO TEN DAYS AFTER THEIR USE.
SO YOU NEED NOT WORRY.
THIS IS THE ONLY MEASURE YOU COULD TAKE AFTER AN UNPROTECTED INTERCOURSE. 87% OF THE PREGNANCIES ARE AVOIDED WITH THESE PILLS IF TAKEN IN THE CORRECT WAY.
SO JUST WAIT FOR YOUR PERIODS. SOMETIMES PERIODS DO GET DELAYED WITH THESE PILLS. SO IF YOUR PERIODS GET DELAYED , YOU CAN TAKE A PREGNANCY TEST USING KITS LIKE VELOCIT, I-CAN KIT JUST TO BE SURE YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT.
IF THE TEST IS NEGATIVE, THE DELAY COULD BE JUST A SIDE EFFECT OF THE PILL, AND YOU CAN WAIT FOR YOUR PERIODS.

IF YOU DONT WISH TO BE PREGNANT THEN YOU SHOULD USE A REGULAR CONTRACEPTIVE LIKE ORAL CONTRACEPTIVE PILLS, IUD, OR BARRIER CONTRACEPTION TO PREVENT PREGNANCY. THIS IS BECAUSE EMERGENCY PILLS CANNOT BE USED AS A CONTRACEPTIVE AND WHEN USED MORE THAN TWICE IN A MONTH, THEY DONT OFFER PROTECTION. THEY ARE NOT A METHOD OF CONTRACEPTION.

TAKE CARE.
