Hello, Whytespice. Thank you for posting.
Emergency contraceptives are up to 95% effective when taken as prescribed within the first 24 hours and up to 90 % effective with 72 hours. It works by preventing ovulation. It should only be used in emergencies. 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. If a woman doesn’t get her next period within a week of it’s expected a date, a pregnancy test is advised. Periods can often be delayed or longer/shorter as a result of taking ECP so be aware of this. We cannot predict what each woman's experience will be with ECP.
