Amenorrhea following delivery may occur for hoti 1 yr. But it's not always safe. Many patients may conceive during this period also. So do pregnancy test and take proper contraceptives.

Once you get your period no need to take unwanted 72 like tablets.
But as you have taken - After taking the high hormonal emergency pill one gets withdrawal bleeding 5 to 10 days later, and then a new cycle starts.- NEW COUNTING.

If withdrawal bleeding is doubtful- better to do blood test serum HCG-Beta.
If bleeding is more or continues for many days- meet Gynecologist

Wait and watch. These are side effects of the hormonal pills. Let them run its course. If it lasts too long then better take homoeopathic treatment.

After taking the high hormonal emergency pill one gets withdrawal bleeding 5 to 10 days later, and then a new cycle starts.- new counting.
Presence of withdrawal bleeding means no pregnancy by sex prior to it.
If this does not happen as well as the period is missed then do a pregnancy test.(doubtful withdrawal bleeding should be put in this group)
