Hello Anonymous,

The vaginal bleeding that started 11 days after taking an emergency contraceptive means the pill worked and was effective in preventing pregnancy.

Taking an ECP a second time and so soon after the first dose seriously upset the normal hormonal balance that regulates your menstrual cycle.

Do you have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism? Is your menstrual cycle normally regular?

Considering your history of a thyroid condition and taking an emergency contraceptive in both February and March, I think you should contact your primary care physician, who may order blood tests to check hormone levels.

Regards,
Maryann
