Taking an emergency contraceptive pill (like the unwanted 72) during your period can sometimes cause hormonal changes, leading to irregular bleeding. Prolonged bleeding for 7 to 10 days may occur as a side effect in some cases, but it’s not typical. Emergency contraceptives can disrupt your hormonal balance, which may result in:
• Prolonged or irregular bleeding
• Heavier or lighter bleeding than usual
• Spotting between periods
However, if the bleeding is unusually heavy (soaking more than 2 pads in an hour for several hours) or persists beyond 10 days, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional to rule out other causes like hormonal imbalance, uterine issues, or side effects of the medication.
Would you like guidance on managing the side effects or tracking symptoms?
