Emergency contraceptives are up to 95% effective when taken as prescribed within the first 24 hours, so the risk is very small. Side effects can include stomach aches, headaches, nausea and a general feeling of being unwell. Symptoms usually start 3-7 days after taking the medication and may or may not include bleeding or spotting.
Not all women get symptoms. It can also cause your period(s) to be early or late, have a lighter or heavier flow. If you had withdrawal bleeding, plus two negative pregnancy tests, you are not pregnant.
