I got my period again after 3 days of ending. Is this normal after having unprotected sex during my "first" period?

I sent this to Alison, in response to your message: Stating that having a period is an indication that someone is not pregnant is NOT correct. Yes it normally means this but without a full physical, having a period doesn't always mean that someone isn't pregnant. If you have a concern about pregnancy, you should always visit your doctor. Better be safe and totally sure. Your anxiety level will not be as high and you will know for sure. My friend had unprotected sex and the guy she had sex with did not ejaculate (he was having some trouble). Anyway, she never thought that she could be pregnant since she thought the bleeding she was experiencing was her period. She was under a lot of stress and thought her hormones were acting up. Little did she know, she was in fact experiencing an etopic pregnancy. If you aren't sure what this is, please look it up. I don't mean to frighten or scare you but I just want you to take care of yourself and visit your doctor. I almost lost my friend. She only found out at the hospital. She was admitted to the emergency room and had to get surgery since it was a life threatening situation. Many women experience different symptoms. You must take care of yourself. It could be you having your period and you're not pregnant but to be 100% sure you should visit your doctor. Asking for advice via the internet is a good tool for support but for absolute certainty, please check with your doctor. Take care.

It does seem like a cruel side effect, but a side effect of emergency contraception is that it can cause your period to be irregular...meaning it could be early or late. You are counting down every day, but even the most "regular" cycle can be off by a few days or more without taking emergency contraception. There is no harm in your cycle being "off", and you may need to wait until your next cycle to have a regular-by-the-calendar period again. ("Next cycle" meaning you count this cycle as a "missed period", then wait for your next period to begin in 21-35 days). Probably the last thing you wanted to hear, but there are a few recommendations before waiting another month below.

Since it has only been 29 days (easy for me to say, right?!), please give yourself one more week, or wait until day 35, until testing again. You can write on your calendar to "test again", and try to tell yourself that you are not going to think about this until that day if your period has not begun. Can you think of ways to help reduce your anxiety, be it spend more time with friends or family, or engage in fun activities that you enjoy?

If your period has not started at day 35, and you still have a negative pregnancy test, it is probably accurate, but you may want to call your Gynecologist to ask for his/her recommendation (s/he may tell you to wait until your next expected period/cycle, and that you can assume you just missed this period because of the emergency contraception).

Do you have a Gyn?
