I was supposed to get my period last Sunday (October 24) and during that day (I did not have my period), we had unprotected sex, but he didn't cum inside. The day before that (Saturday), my boyfriend and I had sex also and we used a condom. On Sunday night, I took ECs during dinner time, then when I was getting ready for bed, I used the bathroom and saw some slight bleeding/spotting. This light spotting happened until Tuesday. Do you think my period is delayed cause of the EC pills? What caused the spotting? Am I pregnant?

Wonderful! And are you now planning to use protection in the future or take other steps so you're always protected? It's really important!

Hakuna - Did you read the article? What you're experiencing is normal. The listed non-harmful side effects after using EC include late periods and breakthrough bleeding (bleeding or spotting that occurs in-between periods). Please read the article for more information as you may have additional side effects. Hang in there!

Hi hakuna - By EC's I'm going to assume you mean emergency contraception. You will find answers to your questions in this article:
