My boyfriend and i had protected sex(condoms) and he always pulls out even while wearing a condom. That time the condom failed and although he pulled out we decided that i should take the emergency contraceptive pill(ella). before 3 days of my normal period which was 2 weeks after we had sex, i suddenly got my period but without any symptoms(swollen breasts, pms..) and lasted for 5 days. After 2 weeks, my breast we swollen for a couple of days and i got my period again today. I'm 13 days early. Is that normal? Does it show any symptoms of pregnancy? Help me, im freaking out. Im 21 years old

Hi, Anon.

Thank you for your post.
If you are having bleeding, you are not pregnant. Emergency contraceptives are up to 95% effective when taken as prescribed within the first 24 hours, so the risk is very small. Side effects can include stomach aches, headaches, nausea and a general feeling of being unwell. Symptoms usually start 2-7 days after taking the medication and may or may not include bleeding or spotting. Not all women get symptoms. If you don’t get your next period within a week or so of its expected date, a pregnancy test is recommended. It can cause your period to be early or late, have a lighter or a heavier flow.
