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 2-7 days after taking the medication and may or may not include bleeding or spotting. If a woman doesn't get her period within a week of its expected date, a pregnancy test is recommended. It can cause irregularity in a woman's cycle if used often. It's supposed to be for emergencies, such as contraception failure. If 4 tests have yielded a negative result, she wouldn't be pregnant.
