So, I had sex right after my period ended (oct 30) and it was unprotected. I got a little paranoid (even though I think he did not came inside me) and took the next choice pill the next day.. followed all the instructions. but now, six days later i am bleeding seems like a menstruation. What is this? is this going to be menstruation for the month of November? My next due date is 21/22. Am I going to get my period by then? I am kind of freaking out. help please.

Hello Susan,
I have been reading through the thread, and I am noticing that a lot of girls here have bleeding about a week after the pill... (and I am guessing this is considered a period) since they get a period about a month AFTER that "spotting, or bleeding" right?? (I am sorry if i am not making sense) But, this too is my case. I took the pill, and i had brown spotting about 5 days after that... only for about 2 days. I had expected my period on 2/24 but still NOTHING. I have taken 2 pregnancy tests, and they both came out negative. (3 days apart, just to make sure) Anywho... I have been having cramping for the last week, and i keep thinking its my period... but again... nothing. :( Although, i am not prepared for another little one, i believe babies are a gift... so if i am pregnant, i just hope everything will be okay. Now, my main concern is having an ECTOPIC pregnancy... what do YOU think? Should I give it another week or should i go ahead and see a healthcare provider just to be sure. I had taken the pill once before and i didnt experience ANY of these side effects.

So my gf period ended on the 26 we had sex the condom broke on the 27th. I gave her next choice 20 hours after it happens 28th. On the 29th she started spotting and since then she said the bleeding has increased. Is it normal to bleed like this and do you think she's prego?

Yes it can be normal, and no I don't think she is pregnant.

I had my period about two weeks early after using next choice. I was told that 2 weeks after that period, I would have my normal cycle. Is this correct? If so, I am a week late, should I be worried?

I would not be worried. The early period is normal. I'm not sure why someone told you that you would have another period in 2 weeks. I would NOT be worried. Menstural irregularities are to be expected. If you are in doubt, get a cheap $1 dollar tree pregnancy test. They are just as good as the expensive ones, just less fancy looking.

Hi! my bf and i had unprotected "sex" last month (jan26), it wasnt really a sex since there was no penetration, we did oral and he just rubbed his penis against my part. he didn't cum near my part but out of panic since it was my first time, i took ecp within 48hrs after the act and had bleeding (same bleeding as my real period) 5 days later (feb2). im supposed to have my "real period" around 2nd week of feb (feb8ish) since my last real period was on jan8. so im not quite sure if that was because of the pill or if that was my real period already that just came a week early?

then again we got hot and we did another unprotected "sex" on feb6, while i was "bleeding". this time we did anal but he didn't cum inside. but because im kinda paranoid, i took another set of ecp within 48hrs after the act. then had bleeding again few days later (bit lighter bleeding than the first one). so basically i had 2 bleeding episodes in a month.

my concern is.. am i still at risk for pregnancy though i bled 2 times after ecp??? im worried. also when will i expect my "real period" to come since im not a regular "bleeder", ive been irregular since i was around 18 yrs old, now im 23. my ob-gyne said might be due to some hormonal imbalance (im underweight).

p.s. its been 2 weeks since the last act, and im having mild cramping, mild breast soreness and feels like burning sensation down there. this are usually my pms symptoms. but still im not sure if im pregnant or not. pls help me. im desparately need your help. plsss.... :|

Hello everyone,
I have a similar worry. My bf and I had sex and well...the condom broke. He did pull out(as he does every time even with the condom on), but we were afraid that some cum still got inside me so within an hour we went to CVS and bought Next Choice. I took both pills within 13 hrs of having sex. We, being the stupid college students that we are, thought it would be fine to have sex again the day after the first condom broke. Well, that one broke too, but he didn't ejaculate. I am now freaking out and have not allowed sex since then. The first day the condom broke occurred on the 6th day of my cycle(period started the 1st and ended the 5th) and the second day was obviously the 7th. I'm expecting my period at the begining of March though it may be delayed due to Next Choice.
I had light spotting(very light) a few days ago, but that was the only symptom I experienced. I have an appointment with an OB/GYN for Friday so I will be asking her as well. How high are my chances of being pregnant at this point?
