Side effects from emergency contraceptives can include stomach aches, headaches, nausea and a general feeling of being unwell. Symptoms usually start 2-7 days after taking the medication and may or may not include bleeding or spotting. Not all women get symptoms. If you don’t get your next period within a week of its expected date, a pregnancy test is recommended, although the risk is low. You should be using protection if you are having sexual intercourse, even if ejaculation is not taking place as accidents do happen. Pre-ejaculate, in itself, does not contain sperm, but it can pick up sperm (remaining in the urethra) from a recent ejaculation that was not flushed out by urination.
