Morning after pill

Posted , 2 users are following.

hi,

took the morning after pill 3 weeks ago after a little "accident".

Period came at normal time. Now, a week later after period is finished, I have brown/reddish discharged for 2 days now..

is it normal? could it be due to having taken the morning after pill? (not under any contraception and periods are regular)

thanks

    The morning after pill is essentially a massive influx of hormones - so you may absolutely find that your rhythm is a bit off and that you experience some spotting that isn't usual for you.

    I've taken it before and had similar, but it's nothing to worry about. If you notice it continues after your next cycle too maybe just check with your GP.

    It's not advised to take the morning after pill regularly for this reason - as it can mess up normal cycles.

    Obviously everyone has different reasons for not using contraception - access to it, religion, age, etc. But may be worth considering all options, both hormonal and non-hormonal.
