Hello. I am 33 years old. Mother of 6 years old. I thought I began my period a few days ago but the flow was lighter than usual also it was lighter and smelled really bad so I told a friend and she said I could be spotting which could mean that I'm pregnant... but I took an emergency contraceptive (I-pill Cipla) a day after having unprotected sex and that could also be a side effect, right? I was wondering how long does this 'period' or 'spotting' would last? Or could this be my actually period triggered by the emergency contraceptive? And if this is just a 'pre-period', when will I get my real period? Thank you for your help!
