Hi
I had unprotected sex on Saturday 19th and took an emergency pill the next day which is 72hrs!
I have been having my period since yesterday but before it start I have been having low back pain! Is there any chance of pregnancy??
My periods are not as I use to get I am having it in very small amount! Is their anything to be scared of??? Or its just because I eat a lot of spicy food and chili???

Hello MysteriousD,
Welcome to the EmpowHER community and thank you for reaching out to us.
Vaginal bleeding after taking an emergency contraceptive means the pill worked to prevent pregnancy. You are not pregnant.
The bleeding is not your period but break through bleeding, which means bleeding between periods. It was caused by taking the pill. That is why it is not like your normal period.
Low back pain is not a reported side effect. Nor, do I think eating spicy food causes it. If the pain persists or worsens, consult your doctor.
