Implantation bleeding is typically small pink or brown spots in your underwear. This happens 6 to 12 days after conception and lasts a day or two. Emergency contraceptives are up to 95% effective when taken as prescribed within the first 24 hours, so the risk is 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. Some get many, or a few, or none. If you don’t get your next period within a week of its expected date, you can test for pregnancy although the risk is very low. It may cause your period to be early or late, have a lighter or heavier flow.
