Spotting or irregular bleeding after taking an emergency contraceptive pill is a common side effect, as it can disrupt your normal hormonal cycle.

Since your pregnancy tests on both the 14th and 21st came back negative, it is reassuring, but if bleeding continues or you remain concerned, it is advisable to take another test or consult a gynecologist for a proper evaluation. A doctor can help determine whether the spotting is due to hormonal changes from the pill or any other underlying cause.
