hi everyone,
Basically im just wondering if it's possible to get pregnant after taking the morning after pill...
In 2011 I had two mc's in 4 months. On the 28th dec me and my partner had sex and in the heat of the moment, forgot about condoms ( due to not using them for so long ) I took the morning after pill within the 72 hours because although wanting a baby, couldn't bare the thought of another mc so soon.
I had a period lasting about 3days around the 10th of January but due to the mc's i didn't exactly have a particular date I was due on. Menstrual cycle has been a bit messed up.
But the last week I've had quite bad cramping and increased discharge and I'm getting kind of anxious as to whether I had a 'period type bleed' but could still be pregnant. Or am I just being paranoid?
I think it may be too early to take a test anyway so won't do that yet, just looking for someone in or had a similar situation and what the outcome was?

It's rare but it can happen. It happened with me. I took the morning after pill after a condom split. Thought nothing more but had constant light bleeding, a one-sided cramp and ridiculously sore boobs. Wee'd on a stick and it was postive. Ended up having a miscarriage in the end.

But I'm convinced it didn't work for me because I'd taken it twice in less than two weeks - the only 2 condoms that have ever split on me!!

You could be ovulating. I sometimes have ovulation pains and increaded discharge.

Take a test to be sure.
