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.

Hi Shay123_,
Glad your situation seems to have resolved itself, and looks like you've made some new friends in combat (so to speak). That is the purpose of this community, to connect with women like you experiencing similar situations. Like my fellow guides have mentioned, it's always good to remember that we're all different, so what one may be experiencing may not be exactly how it is, or will be for you. But we understand it is comforting to have that connection.

@jen: yeah! we have matching periods funnyyyy hehe :)
@shay: i'm thinking about that but i dont really wanna take any pills. just condom. right now my bf and i have been taking about refraining from having sex. we can just do oral. (eehh haha) and yes we experienced that, I bled 5-6 days after taking next choice pill, it lasted for 3-4 days. may I ask what your situation is? did the condom break or something?
