Pregnant after Morning after pill???

[Juddersee]

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

Thanks. Yeh I'm sure it's just a case of hormones and screwed up. Going to try and not think too much about it for the next week and If I still don't have period I will take another test x

So difficult trying to take my mind off things. Can hormones be so out of whack they mimic early pregnancy symptoms? Swollen sore breasts but that could be just AF looming. Been nauseous last 4 days....again could be a bug. This morning I heaved at the smell of my coffee and ive just thrown up at smell of food cooking. I feel sick most of the time. Period is at least a week late possibly 2. I am a pretty rational person though and I know the HCG causes the early pregnancy symptoms so I would be getting strong BFP by now.....I always have before. So fact I am getting BFN means it is highly likely to be hormones....I have just not heard of this before. I mean it's not like I am actively TTC so I'm happy with the BFN.

It's difficult to say because we're all so different! As you say, a lot of symptoms of early pregnancy are exactly those of AF.

For me, food aversions and heaving at smells of food were the earliest signs of pregnancy which I got about a week or so before BFP. As I say though, we're all different and that may be something that is just happening as part of your AF symptoms.

How many days has it been since you did the deed and took the pill?

Thanks for replying
I know it's so difficult to say.....even I am clueless and don't feel I am symptom watching as I was quite content with the BFN and the idea that levonelle has delayed my AF.
It's been 3 and a half weeks since the deed was done (a few times) and pill was taken maybe 9 hours after the first time.

I have a short cycle and am now around 9 days late.

Can you have a doctor do a blood test for HG? I’d explain your concerns to your GP like you’ve done here.

I agree with PP actually, I'd go and see your GP. Explain exactly what's happened with the MAP and having the implant out. Explain your symptoms and BFN's and ask if they would do a blood test.

Stress can definitely delay AF too but it's hard for you to relax with no answers.

Spoke with my GP last week. She sounded a little baffled to be honest. First was chatting about checking bloods now and again in few days for hcg hormone then she went to check something and came saying it would only be beneficial to check if I was showing symptoms of an ectopic which I am not. She wants me to wait a week and re test then contact her either way. No signs of AF coming at all.....preg symptoms getting worse.still getting mostly negative hpt got one very very faint positive but it was hard to tell it was evap line. So I'm just playing the waiting game I guess.

@Juddersee do you have a picture of the faint line test?

When you test use a pink dye as blue dyes are notorious for false positives or Evaps that look like positives!

It may be that the blood test show something the home tests aren't. Very strange indeed! Hope you get some answers soon

No i didn't take a pic sorry but will re test on Fri and use a first response. I would be very surprised if it is positive based on the length of time passed. But if gp suggests doing bloods i might ask if she will check hormones as they are clearly imbalanced. Thanks xx

How are things @Juddersee

Hey there. Well things are much the same symptoms wise still feeling sick etc but my period came over the weekend so I'm hoping my hormones will stabilise soon. Thanks for asking xx
