Dear Anon,
Thanks for reaching out to us today.
Emergency contraceptives are up to 95% effective when taken as prescribed within the first 24 hours. 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. It's recommended If you don’t get your next period within a week of it’s expected date a pregnancy test may be necessary although the risk is very low.
Keep us posted.
Best,
