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.

I hope I'm not bothering you. Hi, I'm 22 years old. I had my last period on the 10-13 of July and in the 15 I had sex with my boyfriend, we used condom, but I got scared and took the next day pill, & now my period is acting weird too, it has never happened to me before, & I usually have a regular 28 or 29 days period; I had bleeding in the 18 'til the 21, & I have no clue what it was, because in the 18 I woke up with my pijamas all stained of blood...like if it were my period again.....we had sex again in the 24 & 30 with condoms and I didnt take the next day pill,,,,,and now my period hasnt arrived. I know the pill shouldnt be taken often, but I get so paranoid that I dont think about its downsides, so to feel a lil more secure I just take it, even if we do it with condom, but the last two times, I didnt take the pill,,,,and now, I feel like I should have taken them.....to feel well right now.....I'm afraid to be pregnant, and I wonder if I can with everything I did,,,,,,,also,,,,I wanna know about my period, like when will I have it,,,,,because counting the days of my normal period(July 10), I should have gotten my period since last Saturday (August 6),,,,,,,or should I count since the day I bled....
I hope someone could help me; I'm getting frustrated + paranoid......I'll be so grateful with you,,,,thank your for taking your time....

I'm a little worried because I had sex that was unprotected for the first few minutes or so but then we used a condom on the 8th of July. The next day I took the "Next Choice" pill maybe 12 hours later. I'm pretty sure he didn't ejaculate inside of me as well. I had just had my period end about a week and a few days, I believe, before all this happened. I ended up getting my period again on the 14th til about the 19th or 20th, which I think it was my period; it was VERY light and more a brownish discharge. It lasted about the same amount of days as my regular period, around 6 days but was 2 weeks early or so. My period has always been a little irregular too. Does that mean my period came early or it was just a side effect? Now its about the time I should get my period but this is going by the standard 28 day cycle business and such and yesterday I just started to get a little brownish discharge again. I'm really afraid of being pregnant or possibly having some other issue. I'm just very worried about this whole situation. I'm also 23 years old. I'm just very scared, someone else said it could be "implantation" bleeding. I can't have a child right now! I'm trying to get my future together. I think I'm going to try and buy a pregnancy test in the next few days then maybe see the doctor ;/.

Hi,
Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the day the last menstrual period starts or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period. Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 - Day 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of the last menstrual period. This is what many refer to as the "fertile time" of a woman's cycle, because sexual intercourse during this time increases the chance of pregnancy. Ovulation can occur at various times during a cycle, and may occur on a different day each month.

I was searching online to symptoms similar to mine and the issues you girls have spoke about kind of made me feel better but my situation is a bit different...

I had unprotected sex and he came in me a little, this happened like a day or two after I stopped my period. I didn't have money right away to buy the pill so 48 hours or a little less I took the first pill, I set an alarm to take the second pill at 6am but I slept through my alarm (i had a heart attack when I woke up!) And took the second pill close to 11am. The in the next day or so I had light brown/pink spotting on my toilet paper then it got heavier like literal blood I wore a light tampon for a few days now I the bleeding died down and i am back to the pinkish spotting/discharge. This bleeding and spotting occurred not even a week after I had my period last! Is this normal?! Will the pill not work because I took the second one a few hours late?! Please respond! From what I have read you are all so sweet. Thanks so much!

Hi Anonymous,
There is a slim chance that you would be pregnant from what you mentioned. Experiencing bleeding and a negative pregnany test are good signs of "not pregnant". Remember that most pregnancy tests are 99% accurate. You have a slim chance but I would say, highly unlikely.

Good luck,
Missie
