Hello!
I would like to start by apologizing for this post. I know this question has been asked to death on this forum, as I have been reading pages and pages from this section all day and yesterday. Alas, I have to ask. I am going mad and just need to let it out. I'm mostly looking for support/encouragement/discouragement rather than definitive answers because I know there are none. I also understand this is a repeat of many questions out there and may be deleted or go unanswered.
About a week ago, Thursday July 1st, I had sex with my best friend. This was about one week after my period. We used a condom and it didn't break nor was there any leakage (to my knowledge. But we were drinking). We are both in our mid/late 20's and experienced so I know the condom was put on correctly. Because I got paranoid I took the morning after pill, Next Choice, about 20 hours after sex. Now that's all fine and I didn't think of it until six days later when I found the light pink spotting I keep reading is definitely implantation bleeding, only when I wiped. This lasted only the day. So now I am totally freaked out and driving myself mad. Every time I go to the restroom I look for signs of anything!
Now the reason I am so upset, paranoid, and took the morning after pill is because I just had an abortion a month and a half ago, May 15th!! This happened after a one night stand and we did use a condom. Although I'm fairly sure something happened with that condom. It was cheap to begin with and god knows how old. I was truly crushed by that incident and wasn't planning on having sex for a long time. It left me with some psychological damage for sure. So when my friend and I were drinking and started messing around I immediately got out a condom given by Planned Parenthood. I was trying to be smart about it. Then after the sex I felt so bad about myself, like I had made a terrible mistake and would surely get pregnant again. I cried all that day, knowing I was going to get pregnant and then I took the MAP.
Anyhow, now here I am making myself crazy over this. Because my period was a week before the sex, I have to wait about a week or two to even take a HPT and wait at least two weeks before my period comes if it comes at all. So my questions are (like so many others have asked)
What do you think the chances are of me being pregnant?
What do you think the little pink spotting was? Implantation blood or from the MAP (Please let it be the MAP!)
Am I just being a mad fool about the whole thing?
Thank you in advance for reading and any input you may have. I will also update this thread with any new developments in case any other girls are going through this same situation. A lot of the threads aren't updated so I don't know how their situations turned out. Again, thanks for reading.

Hello again!
Well not many people are reading this. But I wanted to update anyway. I am still freaked out and so badly want someone to be able to reassure me.
Almost immediately after posting the above post, I started spotting again. The same 'implantation bleeding'. But now with some brown. It changes from pink to brown and even sometimes like fresh blood, but only a little and only when I wipe. I am also having very faint cramps, which I did get this last time I was pregnant. I called them 'Phantom period cramps' because I knew I was pregnant. Haha I thought it was a sick joke, like my period was coming. Anyhow, anyone else gone through this? Do you think it is implantation bleeding, lasting this long? Or could it be the MAP induced period? I really hope I am just being an id**t and freaking myself out, but I've never taken this pill and the availability to the internet is f***ing me up haha.
So, any info or anything would be awesome. Thanks
