During my last cycle, I had unprotected sex, took plan B and got a light bleeding that lasted 3 days. Around cycle day 25, I had sex with a condom. Around cycle 8 I started cramping, light cramping that has lower abdomen pain that was very dull and was off and on. Sometimes it felt like period cramps but mostly it's a dull ache. Around cycle day 17, I am having breast tenderness. This month on the first Sunday of my withdrawal bleeding I started a new birth control.

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 2-7 days after taking the medication and may or may not include bleeding or spotting. Not all women get symptoms. If you don’t get your next period within a week or so of its expected date, a pregnancy test is recommended. It can cause your period to be early or late, have a lighter or a heavier flow.
