The most common side effect of an emergency contraceptive is changing the woman’s cycle. This can be stressful especially if it causes a late period on someone who is worried about being pregnant.
Here is a list of its side effects:
Side effects may include changes in your period, nausea, lower abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, dizziness and breast tenderness. Some women may have changes in their period, a heavier or lighter next period, or a period that is early or late.
I would suggest taking a pregnancy test, then going to the doctor and getting on regular birth control. EC should only be used in an emergency, not as birth control. Below is a link I'd like to share with you that will help.
