Morning after pill...ovulation...seriously worried!!!

Hi everyone, I’m just super super worried...

Me and partner had an accident on the night of the 8th December (around midnight). Long story short we went to a pharmacy the next morning and I took the MAP @ 8am. (8 hours later...).

My WORRY is that when I checked my period tracker app, I was supposedly ovulating the next day (Saturday when I took the MAP on the morning 8 hours after sex...) this has really freaked me out!

It has been 8 days since I took it. My period is due to arrive on the 22/23 of December so in 5/6 days time.

Around 2 days ago so 4 days after taking MAP my boobs started swelling and became sore, however, this is my number one PMS sign, usually around a week before period, which it is now. I have tummy cramps, also PMS sign of mine.

What I’m asking is whether I would have such crazy pregnancy symptoms only four days after sexual intercourse or is it safe to assume that it’s definitely PMS? My breasts are EXTREMELY sore...but this could also be from the MAP?

Could anyone shed some light on this please... I should also add, I’ve taken FIVE 5 days early before period pregnancy tests and all are negative.

Thankyou so much in advance, my head is all over the place

  • Would I really of started having pregnancy symptoms 5 days after having intercourse and taking MAP? I mean its 9 days since I took the MAP and 4 days to my period and I have insanely prominent PMS symptoms...???

No, you wouldn’t have pregnancy symptoms four days after having sex. If you’ve taken the MAP within the recommended time, then you’ll be safe. It sounds like you’re having your regular PMS as normal so I wouldn’t worry about it tbh

I’m sure you will be fine but to address the poster above - it doesn’t always work! I got pregnant after taking the morning after pill 18 hours after sex and it ended in a miscarriage / blighted ovum causing a lot of distress along the way!

santababy it doesn’t always work (same as anything) that’s correct. If the OP is having her regular PMS at the normal times then it’s very probable that she has nothing to worry about but obviously nothing is 100% certain. Sorry to hear about your loss :(

My experience of the MAP is it fucks with your cycle/head!

Just wait for your period - which may well be late due to taking the MAP!
