Hello- I took Next Choice One Dose on December 21st. I had intercourse on November 19th and he came. We also messed around on the 21st early morning but he couldn't perform and he didn't really have it near my vagina but he doesn't remember. Just in case, I took the next dose that day. My cycle ended on the 17th. 4 days after taking the pill I started to bleed and that last about 4 days. I saw that can be a side effect. I always have 27 to 28 day cycles so now my period is off being that it is January 14th and I was supposed to get my period. (on day 4 of no period). I took a pregnancy test on Monday and it was negative. Does that mean my period is coming? I have really bad bloating and cramps. Just not signs of period yet.

Also, my husband and I weren't just ready to try for a baby when I took Next Choice but we will soon be ready. Will I have troubles trying to conceive?

Hello em625,
You should not have any negative effects on becoming pregnant because you took Next Choice.

yes sorry I did mean I had unprotected sex on the 19th and took the pill on the 21st.
Thank you for your help. I just have a lot of bloating and cramps right now that are kind of hard not to ignore. I hope my period comes soon. Otherwise should I take another pregnancy now or wait?

Hello em625
Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for your question.
Did you mean to say that you had unprotected sex on December 19?
And you took Next Choice One Dose on December 21.
Usually, two tablets are taken at once. Or you take one tablet then take the second tablet 12 hours later. Next Choice One Dose is most effective if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
The amount of menstrual flow and the timing of your next period may be irregular as a side effect of the pill. Since you had vaginal bleeding that lasted four days, I think the pill was effective.
If you do not get a period in January, contact your physician.
