Hello dear
I understand your concern
Do not worry
Cramping and bleeding is due to side effect of the morning after pill.
Bleeding is a breakthrough bleeding due to progesterone withdrawal effect.
Cramp is also side effect of the pill.
Take meftal spas, proper rest for the cramp
Maintain proper pelvic hygiene.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise
Hope this may help you
