i took the morning after pill about 3 weeks ago.. then 2 weeks later i got this blood, really dark and brown but my period wasnt due till a week later. then the dark brown blood turned a bit more red like a period but ive been bleeding like this for more than a week now. i usually bleed for only 4/5 days so i dont know wot it is. does any1 know if this is a side-affect of the morning after pill? or if it could be an eptopic pregnancy? thanks for any help cos im very worried about this!!

Dont worry. I have had the morning aftre pill and the same happened, it will muck up your periods once or twice then all will return to normal!
If not see your doc. Also, well done on being sensible and taking it, many girls dont bother and risk it! For reliable contraception try Implanon, a small implant stays in for 3 years and there is no pill to forget!

Hello,
The morning after pill is a large dose of hormones used to confuse your body and destroy a very early pregnancy ie three days and less. Normal side effects are mood swings sore breasts etc much like a period however in some cases (very few) some spotting can occur. Spotting is defined as very small amounts of blood appearing in your knickers that you would not notice unless you looked it would not soak your knickers. The bleeding you are describing is not a usual side affect of the pill and i suggest that you go and see your doctor immediately. It may be that the morning after pill has induced you period but definitely definitely go and get it checked out

This is normal. Remember that these pills are simply higher dose bc pills and the introduction of more hormones into your system can have this effect on your cycle.
If you had a ectopic pregnancy, you would be in severe pain with abdominal cramps, unable to walk and the pain would not stop, so I dont think that is what you are experiencing. However, be sure to see your gyno and talk these issues over just to better understand what is happening with your body.

If it was an ectopic pregnancy you would be in a lot of pain. Dont worry its just your body responding to the hormones in the pill you took. If the bleeding gets heavy and painful then see a doc xx

Side effects can be nausea, vomiting, and menstrual alterations just like you describe..... An ectopic pregnancy Its very painful, and usualy breaks at 10 wk of your last period
