Last night i noticed a light pinkish discharge on the tissue paper after peeing twice, and before that i had had terrible cramping in the afternoon. I had unprotected sex on the 14th and then took P2 on 16th. My boyfriend and i had sex on the 18th but the condom broke so i took another dose of P2 on the same day.

Hi Anon
Thank you for your post!
Emergency contraceptives are up to 95% effective when taken as prescribed within the first 24 hours and up to 90% effective if taken within 72 hours, so the risk is very small. It works by preventing ovulation and stopping a pregnancy from starting. It is not an abortion pill. It prevents a pregnancy, it does not end one. Side effects can include stomach aches, headaches, breast pain, nausea and a general feeling of being unwell.
The more frequently they are taken, the more likely a woman is to have side effects and an irregular cycle so yes, this could be the case for you. They should be taken only for emergencies, not used as a method of birth control.
September 25, 2017 - 3:41amSymptoms usually start 2-7 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. If a woman doesn’t get her next period within a week of it’s expected date, a pregnancy test may be necessary although the risk is very low. Periods can often be delayed or longer/shorter as a result of taking emergency contraception. We cannot predict this for our readers in terms of length of delays. Each women is different. Periods should get back to normal by the second cycle after.
Best,
Susan
