Morning after pill
My sister had coitus without protection but took the morning after pill ( levenorgestrel 1.5 mg) within an hour of having the coitus. This had occurred on 22nd January . Today , on 27th January she is having spotting or i would say bleeding in brownish colour much more than the amount of spotting. Is it normal or is this a risk factor that she is pregnant?

It may be due to the excessive hormone in the pill that her dates have changed. There may be irregular cycles for the next 2-3 months.
Next Steps
it is always better to use regular contraception when sexually active.
Please consult your doctor for that.

After I pill ( emergency contraceptive), bleeding or spotting is expected. Next one to two cycles also may be disturbed. It is not very good to have I pill. A routine contraceptive should be used.
