Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The headache, nausea and the mild bleeding that you are having are all the side effects of the emergency contraceptive that you have taken. Such high dose hormonal pills can cause these symptoms which will subside in next few days.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
