Morning after pill- pregnancy signs?- anyone got pregnant?

[Antonia87]

So, my fiance and I sort of decided to start trying for a baby. Its only two months before our wedding so we thought we would get on with it. After the first attempt, like a mentalist, I panicked and took the MAP. I would definately have been fertile. Fiance was not pleased, poor chap :-s!
So, I didn't think anything more about it until I started getting very emotional about a week later and feeling inexplicably exhausted- falling asleep in work exhausted! I also had a brown bleed for 24 hours, two weeks before period was due. Thought it was my period but then it buggered off.Since then , i'm not sure if i'm imagining symptoms but my nipples feel tingly and I feel like i'm coming down with the flu. Its too early to test and now i've come around to the idea I wouldn't be upset if we were pregnant ( apart from sober wedding;-)! Has this happened to anyone else? What was the outcome?

Hi,

I have only taken the morning after pill once.

We had 3 children youngest was about 4 weeks old and we were using condoms but it must if split or somthing as when I went to the toilet it was obvious there was seen.
The next day I got the morning after pill and took as instructed.

Just before my period I just didn't feel right took a test and I was pregnant and it was twins :)

So we now have 5 children.

I don't no anyone else this has happend to so I'm assuming it's rare.

Good luck I hope it turns out what ever you want it to be.

I did fall pregnant after taking the MAP, however apparently if you take two within a few weeks the second one has less chance of working. That's what I was lectured by a health professional (after it was too late ). However, obviously my case is slightly different from yours as you only took the one. Only sure way to find out is to pee on a stick, so I'm afraid you're just going to have to wait a bit longer!

Those certainly sound like pregnancy symptoms. The MAP is not anywhere near 100% especially if you're mid cycle when you need it/take it. I would give it a few more days then test but be prepared for it to be positive. Getting pregnant can be scarily easy sometimes.

2 lots of map 2 dc but I am a big chubba and apparently it's less effective if you weigh over 12 St. Before I sound all Jeremy kyle both times decided to try then I had a wobble, pregnant first time each time. Couldn't be happier, hubby has since had a vascetomy!

Nice to know I not the only one to have a wobble when TTC! Thanks Blessed! I have also been having hot flushes when Im usually a cold person. Cant test until the weekend but it sounds like its happened to a few of you!

I too got pregnant with DC1 after taking MAP (another split condom here). We weren't trying but I wasn't gutted, just shocked! Good luck OP

MAP prevents about 85% of conceptions that would otherwise have been expected.

But even when it's working, it can muck up your cycle, with spotting and strange hormone-y symptoms (rather like early pg). Only a test, about 2 weeks after the event, will tell which it is.

My niece was born after my sil took the MAP.

Superdrugs own brand test are much more sensitive than a lot of others - and not too expensive - so if you wanted to test before the weekend then they might be worth a try?

Thanks Soloula. I may hunt for those tomorrow if I can pluck up the courage

AF arrived! Must have been a virus or something!
