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.

Has anyone ever had slight weight gain (about 5 pounds) and slight breast enlargement, very similar to some pre-menstral syndromes, about a week after taking an ECP? I also started some heavy spotting today and my next period isn't due until November 19th...I guess I am kind of scared that these symptoms are early signs of pregnancy instead of side effects of the pill as I've read that implantation bleeding can occur as soon as 7 days after ovulation. My method of birth control failed when I had sex a day after my last period ended so I took an ECP a few hours after. Are any of these symptoms I'm experiencing typical of a pregnancy a week after conception? I know it is unlikely that a pregnancy can occur a day after your period ends as you are still in the follicular phase but I guess I could just use some peace of mind while I'm waiting for my next period to start (hopefully) :-)

Oh I also drank alcohol for 2 days. Like on my 30th and 31st day. Maybe that triggered the delay? Or something? Uggghhhh.

Hello Everyone! I started this thread a year ago, It's me Alex/Alexes. I can't believe it's still going on and on! :) I'm happy how other ladies are helped through the information given by this thread. I am a little worried again, I had sex and it was protected, a couple of times during the sex the condom dried up and we had to change it. We checked the condom (we put water in it to see if there was a hole or it broke or something, no holes no nothing) Now, my period hasn't arrived yet. I'm on my 33rd day. usually isn't it like 28-35? how long is the normal cycle? should I worry? I dunno! I'm getting paranoid again. Help please! :(
