Hello Anonymous,

Unless you have a very short menstrual cycle, like a 22 day cycle, you would not be ovulating one week after you finished your period. Therefore, there really is no need to take an emergency contraceptive.

If you have already taken the emergency contraceptive, you can expect to have breakthrough bleeding, which is bleeding between your last period and your next monthly period.

One side effect of the pill is a change in the menstrual cycle. Your next period could start earlier or later than expected and flow can be lighter or heavier than normal.

Hope this is helpful to you.
