General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Emergency contraception is highly effective when taken soon enough after intercourse within 72 hours with success rates close to 99%. If you did take within the 72 hours period, then its less likely you could have become pregnant at that time. But further protection could not be assured any more and you could become pregnant before even having your menses. However spotting is a common side effect of pills. Do a pregnancy test with early morning urine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Best regards,
Dr. Achuo
