Hello,
I had unprotected sex with this guy a couple of month ago, afterwards I took the morning after pill. I got sort of a period within a week of taking the pill, but haven't gotten my period since then. I had some spotting last month, so I got scared and took a pregnancy test which showed negative results. Should I be worried? Could I be pregnant?

The bleeding you have 1-2 weeks after the use of the MAP is considered a period.

What you describe sounds perfectly normal for using the MAP, it does tend to cause a womans next period to come earlier or later than usual.

Thanks for your reply. I am worried that I might actually turn out to be pregnant. It is not normal for me to miss a period, so two is even worst. I need some advice in how to deal with all of this...Am I pregnant? Are these secondary effects of the MAP? The guy doesn't even know what is going on... and, as of now, I don't intend to tell him anything. Is brownish/really light discharge or spotting normal? Why haven't I gotten my period since the week after I took the MAP? Latelly, I've been really tired and moody...which is not normal for me. PLEASE HELP...Thanks
I would appreciate if you e-mailed me****************
Thanks

you can actually get pregnant after taking the morning after pill if you did not take it soon enough. Did you take it the following day...it has to be withing 24 to 36 hours...and in some cases they just don't work...my friend got preg after taking one two...You need to take an home pregnancy test soon!

PLAN B is not 100% effective, so you could be pregnant simply because there are no guarantees...

Definately take a pregnancy test.

I took the pill within 12-24 hrs... still waiting on my period but no other signs of pregnancy. I started taking provera (pill) for 7 days to induce my period, but no difference yet. Thanks for your replies.
