I had sex with my boyfriend on 30th March which is 2 days after I finished my period. I took the emergency pill the next day and had my period on 14th April which is a week earlier than my monthly period. The period lasted for 3 days only. I took 2 pregnancy test and the result is negative. However I'm feeling nausea and had cramp for sometimes now. Is it normal?

Hi, Anon.
Thank you for your post.
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. Some get many, or a few, or none. If you don’t get your next period within a week of its expected date, a pregnancy test may be necessary although the risk is low. It can cause your period to be early or late, have a lighter or heavier flow.
