The bleeding which started on January 1 was breakthrough bleeding, which is bleeding between periods. It was caused by taking the morning after pill.
Emergency contraceptives work to prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation.
Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period.
Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 – Day 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of the LMP.
Anonymous, I don't think you were ovulating on January 1.
No need to take a pregnancy test.
Your next monthly period could start earlier or later than expected. Or it may start on time. Flow might be lighter or heavier than normal. These menstrual cycle changes are a side effect of the pill.
