So this is my first post here and I have yet to learn the forum lingo haha so apologies for that. Just looking for advice or if anyone has been in a similar situation, I'm interested in hearing their stories and learning about their outcomes.
My OH and I did the deed on the 25th, 26th and the 28th December and this may be TMI but each time was more than once.
With all the craziness going on I forgot to take my pill for 3 days, which were the 30th and 31st December and the 1st January.
The pill I'm on is a progesterone only one (Zelleta - the 12h kind). I had brown spotting on the 2nd and 3rd of January which I assume was from missing 3 pills.
We haven't been intimate since the 28th December. The last few days I've felt off, with mild headaches. I even took a dreaded covid test on Thursday evening just to rule that out - still waiting for the results! But for the past two days I've felt nauseous, today has been for almost the whole day, my tummy has felt wishy washy, I've had a few hot flushes and I've had some panty line level cramping on and off.
Googling this - some sites say that emergency contraception should be used for 2 or more missed pills if intercourse has taken place in the few days before they were missed and some sites only mention emergency contraception being taken if the intercourse takes place during the days or the few days after the pills have been missed.
I took a test today and it was negative. I know this can be just a negative or it could be too early.
At first I was like 😬 when I thought I could maybe be pregnant just because I'm in my first year of uni but now I've had the last two days to think about it I'm getting used to the idea. If I were to be it would be a very wanted baby. Just a surprise. (although I know technically it would be my fault for missing the pills but at the time of missing them I genuinely didn't realise I hadn't taken them)
Anyway I suppose I'm just wondering if anyone has been in the same or similar situation to this and what your stories are 😊
