Hi, Shreya21

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 3-7 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 does not get her next period within a week of it’s expected date a pregnancy test is recommended, although the risk is very low. It can also cause your period(s) to be late or early, have a lighter or heavier flow so be aware of this. I hope this information has helped.
