If you didn't want to get pregnant, why did you have unprotected sex? Why did you then leave it so long before you thought about prevention?
You need to use a reliable test kit. Why the reluctance?
What is wrong?

I have never claimed 'expert' status. If you take the i-pill, it may possibly prevent implantation, but could then be equivalent to an abortion. But if you are pregnant I cannot advise on anything that would terminate the pregnancy.

I was date raped on March 28. Took ECP an hour later. It’s been 10 days since I took them but no bleeding still. My last 6 periods were on Oct 30, Nov 26, Dec 23, Jan 18, Feb 16, and Mar 17. Please enlighten me.

I am so sorry to hear about your dreadful experience.
Your past cycles (26-29 days) indicate that 28 Mar would probably have been a fertile day, but as you took the EC pill quickly, it should have worked by preventing ovulation. Often withdrawal bleeding takes more than 10 days. Having taken EC, your next period or two may come at an unexpected time, or even be missed. If you have not had any bleeding by 18th April, you could take a test to ease your mind. By then a negative result should be reliable regarding that awful incident.

Hi again. Follow up question. Would there be any chance that I have ovulated before 28 March based on my past cycles?

Based on your past cycles, you would not have ovulated before 28 March. The earliest would have been 29 March.
- 30-Oct-17 to 26-Nov-17 = 27 days
- 26-Nov-17 to 23-Dec-17 = 27 days
- 23-Dec-17 to 18-Jan-18 = 26 days
- 18-Jan-18 to 16-Feb-18 = 29 days
- 16-Feb-18 to 17-Mar-18 = 29 days
Your last 2 cycles were longer, and it may be that this cycle was on course to be longer. If so, it could be that 28th March was less likely to be a fertile day.
If you had ovulated 27 March (a cycle of 24 days). then your period would be expected tomorrow (10 April).

Oh my. I just realized I was actually raped on the 29th (about 3AM), coming from a dinner date on the 28th. Now I’m really really scared. I will give updates if the ECP worked (which I hope did). Thank you Shepherd999 for putting your efforts on here.

I started bleeding today at about 5AM. Is this withdrawal bleeding or is this my period? Does this mean the ecp worked?

It is difficult to say which it is. Today (GMT) is 12 April (you didn't say where you are from) and is a fortnight since you took the pill. It is also 26 days since your last period and your shortest cycle declared was 26 days. Either way, it would seem that you are not pregnant if the bleeding continues. If it is a normal period, then it suggests you ovulated about 29 March. If the EC pill worked, then it may be your period is shorter. Nevertheless, if you take a test in a week's time, the result should be reliable.

I am from the GMT+8 timezone so yes it is April 12 where I am too. The bleeding looks like a normal period based on the flow but it is only the first day so I’ll see in the next few days. Will also do the test next week and update here. Again, many thanks.

Hello, I am 21 years old and me and my boyfriend were in a doubt that the condom might have broken, so I took the morning after pill in an hour after sex. It's been 6 days and I'm having white discharge from my vagina and lower abdominal pain. My periods date will come in a week, is this normal? What is the chance of any unwanted pregnancy?

There seems very little chance, but you are vague with your dates! "It's been 6 days" = 9 April? "My period's date will come in a week" = 21 April? If those are the case, then it was not likely to have happened at a fertile time.
- What date did you have sex + 'morning-after-pill'?
- What date was your period due to start?
- How did you calculate that date?
However, having taken the EC pill, you next bleeding and period may come at an unexpected time.

Thanks for getting back. We had sex on the 8th Of April and my last period was on 21st of March. My cycle varies between 28-30 days. So I'm expecting my next period on 21st April. I had the morning after pill, an hour after sex, that is on the 8th of April itself.
