Emergency contraceptive
Hi,
I had periods on 23rd Dec that lasted for a normal 5 days. My cycle is always between 28-31 days. I had unprotected sex with my husband on 1st Jan and thereafter took an emergencyo contraceptive within 24hours. My periods started again on the 7th. The flow is a little less though. Is this due to the emergency contraceptive? I have always had a regular period cycle. Will I know get me periods in the next month? Please advise.

Yes this s most probably due to the effect of emergency contraceptive pill..
Whether or not u ll gt nxt periods on time s unpredictable..
But yes if ur nxt periods gt delayed more than 10days ita advisable to do a urine pregnancy test.
