My last period started on 20 Dec, had a contraception failure on the 26th, just as my period was ending. On 27 Dec I took Levonelle (the morning-after pill) on direction of a pharmacist, within 12 hours of DTD. She told me I might have spotting and my period could be a few days late. On the 31 Dec (5 days after Levonelle, 11 days since start of last period) I started bleeding, which I was expecting after being warned of the spotting. It was a lot heavier than I was expecting, cramps, etc. It tailed off and ended on the 4th Jan.
I'm now on cycle day 34 and no sign of a period. Was the bleeding on the 31st an extremely early period? I've done two pregnancy tests and they were negative, however I am having sore boobs and vivid dreams (the first signs of my last pregnancy). It says on the leaflet you get with Levonelle that if AF is more than 5 days late to see a doctor - is this just to rule out pregnancy? It is not easy for me to get off work and I am feeling OK, should I just wait for it to show up? Has anyone had a similar experience? BTW if it does turn out I am pregnant, it is not a disaster, I would just prefer not to be, hence the back up option of Levonelle!
Thanks in advice for any advice and experience!
