Post-Emergency Contraceptive Side Effects: What to Expect & When to Worry

Cramping and stomach upset are common side effects of emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) and can occur within 24 hours of taking the pills.

However, if you are experiencing these symptoms 5 days after taking ECPs, it is not likely related to the medication. It's important to consider other possible causes for your symptoms.

If you have concerns about your symptoms, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and appropriate management.
