Pregnant after Morning after pill???

Hey everyone. I'm new on here but looking for some advice/ reassurance. I recently got my implant out as it was having some unbearable side effects and my partner and I had split since I got it in. Within 2 weeks of getting it out we got back together and one night our condom split. Since I has resigned myself to getting the morning after pill first thing in the morn we had unprotected sex several times (damn you gin!) I got the MAP within 9 hours of the first unprotected time and had no immediate side effects. My hormones had been out of whack anyway since having the implant removed so the morning after pill made me even worse for a few days. 5 days after taking it I had some mild cramping and thought it was AF but only got some very watery red/spotting which lasted 2 days but wasn't every time I wiped therefore was very light. I have zero other symptoms now....I have taken the morning after pill twice before and always got a period straight away. However the implant had stopped my period so I haven't had a proper one in 8 months. I did however have some mild bleeding in the days before my unprotected sex. Since I have no idea where I am in cycle I have no idea when I should test. It has been a week since the morning after pill....when should I worry about the lack of AF. I am already fairly worried....this relationship is not stable and I already have a son. Thanks

After I stopped the depo injection it took the three months that the jab should work for plus another nine months for my periods to return. I’m sure it’s probably fine but I’d do another test in a week to be sure

You can test now OP, good luck!

Well it has been 16 days since the unprotected sex incident....if implantation can take 10 days how long then until I should I test? I'm pretty sure all is fine it's just I had a few days pink/ Brown spotting in the week after sex which I had once and it turned out to be implantation. But it's prob my hormones just all over the place xx

I've taken the MAP once and my cycle was knocked out of whack. Plus you've had your implant out so that could definitely be why AF hasn't arrived yet.

Implantation can take up to 10 days so it could be another week or so before you'd get a positive if you are pregnant.

Good luck x

I wouldn’t worry. Having implants out etc can cause a side effect of pregnancy style symptoms. Just check in another 7 days with another test

Still no period or symptoms other than Carpal tunnel which I've only had late in my 1st pregnancy. Also my breasts are swollen and sore but again that could be hormones. Tested again yest and was neg. I know levonelle can delay periods of bring it on sooner but for me it had always brought my period on within a few days. Not this time. Hoping period will just come soon xx

Ok got a bfn with fmu today on day 11 after unprotected sex. Will try again in few days but it was a very sensitive test and a firm bfn

It is to early, if you took the pill the day after unprotected sex. You need to wait at least 12-14 days realistically. Some early detection tests might pick it up sooner if you are but I'd wait it out if you can.

Juddersee · 04/08/2018 11:55

Thank you both. I thought it was too early to test as it has only been a week but I will try tomorrow

My cycles weren’t regular after having the implant put and I’d get watery short type periods so it may be that but definitely test.

MAP isn't 100%! Test now and every 3 days for the next 3 weeks then call GP if symptoms still there x
