Taking emergency contraception pills causing menstruation to come earlier is it safe period?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Is it safe days if the menstrual period comes earlier after taking emergency contraception?

Doctor's answer:

Emergency contraception pills, due to their effects of inhibiting and delaying ovulation and suppressing the endometrium, can cause the next menstrual period to come earlier or later. They may also cause a temporary increase in hormone levels in the blood due to temporary medication, followed by a decrease and subsequent withdrawal bleeding, which manifests as irregular vaginal bleeding. Your situation may be considered withdrawal bleeding caused by emergency contraception pills. Rest and avoid overexertion, and do not have frequent sexual activity.
