so I took aftera (EC) after unprotected sex. I had sex the day after the last day of my period. And i took the emergency contraception that day. A week later im not having light light bleeding. the first day there was small clots. and now its like clots size of a dot. Anyone know whats happening? And boobs are super sensitive and hard.
Hi alena,
It’s likely to be the effect of Aftera- it can sometimes cause ‘withdrawal bleeding’. I wouldn’t worry about it unless your next period is late (>7 days), in which case you should get a pregnancy test.
Adhari.
what is withdrawl bleeding?
The pill contains levonorgestrel and it can sometimes cause the lining of the womb (endometrium) to shed- this is referred to as spotting or withdrawal bleeding.
so how do i know its not implantation bleeding?
You won’t know unless your period is late (see above); and if it is then you should take a pregnancy test.
its very common to bleed for up to 14 days after taking emergency contraception its most likey normal and not a result of pregnancy
