Brief Answer:

This is withdrawal bleed.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

1. The spotting you are currently experiencing is mostly a withdrawal bleed. The emergency pill contains high dose of progesterone and this alters the hormone status.

2. Your natural period that happens next is likely to be delayed by a week or two. Cramping is often observed with disturbed hormone milieu. However, if the cramping persists, please get further help.

3. This spotting should subside on its own. Please do not self-medicate.

Pregnancy prevention is satisfactory if the pill has been consumed within the stipulated period after an accident.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shanti Vennam, OBGYN
