Condom broke, raced to the chemist, and took the ec pill within an hour, was on the second last day of my period, and am freaking out whether i could be pregnant or not. I bled (which was heavy at some point) for at least another 5 days after taking the pill, and had other side affects such as headaches, sore breasts etc, and am still getting a few side affects a week after i have taken it, not sure whether i am pregnant or not, please help i'm young and very confused!

Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
May 29, 2016 - 9:45amCommon side effects of the pill include: vaginal bleeding a few days after taking the pill (this is not your regular period), nausea, tender breasts, vomiting, cramping etc. These symptoms do mirror pregnancy symptoms but are simply side effects of the drug.
Also keep in mind the you can only become pregnant during ovulation which occurs. 12-16 days after your period. Sperm can live in the body about 5 days. So, the chances of you getting pregnant while on your period are very low.
Since you took EC, you will not become pregnant.
Faith

Is it worth taking a test? I have an average of 25 day cycle... And am still really nervous :(
