Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.
A common side effect of the emergency contraceptive is that it can cause some women to bleed at unexpected times. How long have you had cramping and bleeding?
It’s a good idea to call your health care provider if if the bleeding lasts more than a few days, and/or if it starts to get heavier.
Whenever you take a hormone pill, know that your menstrual cycle will become irregular for some period of time. It's hard to say how your body will respond. Typically, after taking emergency contraceptive pills, your next period should come within the next month, either on time or a week before or after you would normally expect it.
