Is bleeding after the morning after pill normal?

The follower says she used the emergency method half an hour after having sex

“Doctor, the condom broke and after 30 minutes I took the morning-after pill. Since yesterday I have had brown bleeding. Is this a sign that the pill may have worked?”

Yes, this could be a clue to the action of the morning after pill. This type of drug has a high dose of hormones, and when a woman takes it, these levels increase and then decrease. When they decrease, they normally cause sloughing of the uterus and, therefore, bleeding.

Also, every time a car accident like this happens, it is worth consulting your gynecologist and talking about the real need to use the morning-after pill. For example, if the condom broke and the man did not ejaculate or the woman was out of her fertile window, there would be no need to use it.

Are there any other side effects?

The morning after pill is a method known to most women to avoid unwanted pregnancies. However, this is an emergency method and its use should be the exception and never the rule.

The morning-after pill contains 6 to 20 times the hormone dose of a regular pill. Therefore, its frequent use can cause major problems in addition to bleeding, such as menstrual irregularities, headaches, nausea, vomiting, stomach upset and dizziness.

The recommendation, when a woman begins to repeat the use of the morning-after pill, is to consult a gynecologist who offers options of contraceptive methods that guarantee greater safety. Conventional contraceptive pills, for example, contain lower doses of hormones, cause fewer side effects and are more effective. There are also other forms of administration, such as patches, injections or implants for those who tend to forget to take the pill.
