Can Yuting cause bleeding and is it a successful form of contraception?

Patient's question:

Approximately five days ago, I didn't take proper contraceptive measures during cohabitation, so on the third day, I bought and took the emergency contraceptive pill Yuting. This morning, I've started experiencing bleeding again, though the amount is not significant. This is my first time taking emergency contraception. Is bleeding after taking Yuting a sign of successful breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking: If vaginal bleeding similar to menstrual flow reappears within one week after taking emergency contraception (Yuzhentong), it indicates successful breastfeeding. If the vaginal bleeding is only a small amount and intermittent, it does not indicate successful breastfeeding. In this case, after the menstrual cycle is delayed, promptly take a urine pregnancy test to rule out the possibility of early pregnancy. The effectiveness of Yuzhentong for breastfeeding exceeds 90%.
