Q: Pregnant After Emergency Contraceptive?

I feel like a fool for this....Honestly....


Had to take an emergency contraceptive (morning after pill - levonelle) after doing you-know-what and not having protection occur to me. I took the levonelle pill within the 12 hours it recommends...Was due to start my monthly cycle anyway within a few days, and started 4 days after taking it. First two days I had pinky discharge, which turned to brown and then the flow came, but it was lighter than normal. I put this down down to the levonelle.
Nearly two weeks later, i'm feeling sick, dizzy, very tired and fatigued...And then pains that feel like a cross between period pains and ovulation pains.
Yesterday I was ravenous with hunger...And it helped to eat to stop feeling sick. This morning I feel light headed with some pain.
Though I don't have sore breasts, which appears to be a common sign of pregnancy. I took a urine test yesterday, and it came up as negative, which I expected because it could be too early to tell, and i'm not due on again for another 2 weeks... My cycle is every 21 days.

My mom is not convinced i'm pregnant...That may be wishful thinking on her part. But I am concerned I could be...Does anyone have some words of wisdom?

Thanks all.

No your not pregnant.
This happen to me too! And let me tell you, if you don't have sore breats then your not pregnant. Its just the pill, it messes your hormones up because it shoots you with a high dose of mad hormones. So it makes you feel like your pregnant but your not. So no need to worry. Your get your period.

i highly doubt you're pregnant..i hear that the ECP has a few side effects after taking it and that it may mess up your cycle slightly for a while, if you took to ECP AND you had a negative test then you should be fine
