We had sex 2 - 3 weeks after her last menstruation and she had them irregularly. She took Nordette as ECP 18 hours after. 6 days after the dose, she bled heavily lasting for 3 days. She also had abdominal pains then and she said it was just like her period. I'm not sure exactly if it is her period or just the withdrawal bleeding.
Was that a sign that she's not pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,
Some women experience changes in their menstrual cycles as a side effect. The next monthly period can start earlier or later than normal.
You did not become pregnant because you had bleeding which lasted four days. That proved the pill worked.

Hello Anonymous,
Your girlfriend should contact her gynecologist. She took the ECP just two days after finishing her monthly period. It appears a hormonal imbalance occurred and she needs to speak with her physician.

Hi. Good day. We did the deed last june 29. Then my gf took nordette 2 days after the deed. 4pills for the 1st dose and another 4pills for the 2nd. She had her bleeding on june 9-14. She should have her period a few days ago but she still doesnt have her period today, july 18. Is there still a possibilty she'll get pregnant even though she had her bleeding for 5 days last month??? Pls help. Thanks so much.

Hello Anonymous,
Bleeding for five days after taking Nordette confirms she did not become pregnant. The delay in her period this month is a side effect of taking the pills. If she has any further concerns, I suggest she speak with her gynecologist.

Hi i already had my withdrawal bleeding. I'm still waiting for my next period. Are you guys really positive that I'm not pregnant? My nipples are painful and i'm having acne breakouts. I don't know if this is a sign of implantation bleeding or PMS.

Hi! My boyfriend and I had an unprotected sex (his condom broke and it was too late when we found out) and after an hour, I drank nordette. Now after a week, I'm bleeding heavily and it feels like it is my period already. Is this withdrawal bleeding or my period already? Help :(

I took nordette last june 27 because of unprotected sex. But I also had another unprotected sex last july 8 but the WB came the next
July 10, 2016 - 4:44amDays and it was just very light and spottings. My period should be tomorrow(July 11) but I am worried that it won't come because I took nordette and i heard that it would confuse your menstrual cycle. I took PT today and came up negative. Do I have to take another batch of nordette so i can be sure that I won't get pregnant? Or is the WB enough to prove that im not pregnant?
