Brief Answer: DETAILS ARE GIVEN BELOW. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for writing to us. Yes, irregular withdrawal bleeding or spotting may occur due to consumption of morning after pill repeatedly. This type of bleeding will stop by own in most case and next cycle becomes late or irregular due to hormonal imbalance. If you took those within first 24 hrs of unprotected sex, then you will give more than 95% protection against unwanted pregnancy. In addition, you must undergo one home pregnancy test 2 weeks after last sexual incident or one week after missed period to be sure. Till then, maintain your genital hygiene properly. Hope, I have answered your query. Let me know, if you need any clarification. Wish your good health. Practice safe sex and use regular contraceptive.
