Menstrual cycle problem
My last menstrual period was from 22nd to 25th May. Due to contraceptive failure, I took an Unwanted 72 pill on 27th May, within a few hours of the incident.
I experienced withdrawal bleeding starting on 2nd June, and it is still continuing. Until yesterday, I was having abdominal pain and leg pain, but since this morning, I have been experiencing significant breast tenderness why it's happening even after seven days of start of the bleeding, to the extent that even a light touch causes discomfort.
I am concerned about whether these symptoms are normal side effects of the emergency contraceptive pill and whether they indicate that the pill has pr hasn't worked successfully.
Additionally, could these symptoms be early signs of pregnancy, or are they more likely to be side effects of the emergency contraceptive pill? Should I take a pregnancy test, and if so, when would be the appropriate time to do so?

You need to be educated about the fact that emergency contraceptive pills have many side effects
They are known to cause irregular vaginal bleeding
What you are facing is a side effect which is called withdrawal bleeding
The side effects my last up to the entire month after its consumption
Another thing you need to be careful about is there high failure rate of emergency contraceptive pills which means you can be pregnant despite consuming it immediately post intercourse and despite this bleeding which is only as side effect
Make sure you do a pregnancy test in case you skip your usual period
