Morning after pills

Does intermenstrual bleeding indicate that morning after pill's effectiveness? I took morning after pills after three days after my period finish and have light spotting. When should i expect my next period to come?

Hi Anonymous-
According to studies done at Princeton University, you should most likely have a normal period within a month of emergency contraception, although your cycle might be off, meaning a week early or a week late: http://ec.princeton.edu/questions/ecmenses.html

We have articles and discussions on this topic as well: https://www.empowher.com/media/reference/emergency-contraception-more-treatment-options-women

I hope this helps answer your question. Thanks for writing and good luck to you.
