Hope anyone can give me some advice.
i had unprotected sex with my partner on the 8th december and got the morning after pill on the 9th december. I had my period on the 25tb december to the 1st of january 2025. This was heavy but nothing unusual for me. I have had a bad flu over this last week and felt poorly at work so i did a test just to rule out anything and a faint positive came up? What does this mean? Anyone experienced this.

Faint line after morning after pill.

That's a definite positive. Like someone else said the morning after pill won't work if you've already ovulated.

That's strongly positive to me, my faint positives barely showed in photos. Best of luck whatever you decide. Flowers

The colour of the line doesn't matter, a line is a line. You're definitely pregnant x

Have you had unprotected sex or if you're relying on hormonal contraception any issues with upset stomach/vomiting since your last period started?

If you have a regular 28 day cycle you could have ovulated on or before the 8th Jan, so you could be just pregnant this cycle.

That is not a faint positive, it’s a very definite positive! Have you had unprotected sex since the time in December? Maybe the period was am implantation bleed? I’ve had them before, or maybe an incomplete miscarriage? I’d probably get a clear blue with the weeks on to maybe give you an idea of how far pregnant you are and also see if you can get referred to the early pregnancy unit to see what’s going on. Good luck x

I would not call that a faint positive, it's very visible. False positives are rare, so you are almost certainly pregnant. Can you test again tomorrow be sure? How would you feel if you were pregnant?

The morning after pill only works to delay your ovulation, so if you'd already ovulated then it won't work.

The period being so long and heavy is odd, but people do have bleeds during pregnancy and everything is fine.
