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.

Hello,
My gf and I had unprotected sex for the first time. This was the first time I ever had unprotected sex as well. Things got hot and wavy and well I finished inside of her. She fell asleep and I went to buy next choice. She took the pill 5 hours after our act and then the second pill 9 hours later. This occurred the 22nd and she was expecting her period on the 5th of feb. she started her period about a week early (28th). I was so nervous this week and was doing research and came across this site. I'd check this forum daily and read the entire thread. This thread was very helpful and informative. I'm so thankful I came across this site and that she started her period!

Hey guys! Well I had my period on the 10th on January and it ended the 15. On the 21st, Me and my boyfriend were having sex and in the middle of it, I felt like something wasn't right and we noticed that the condom broke. We went straight to Walgreens and bought Next Choice Withthin an hour after we had sex. 6 days later, I noticed that I had a dark brown stain in my underwear and when I cleaned myself it was the same color. Now I'm bleeding like if I was on my period. It even feels like it because I have cramps. The thing I'm worried about is that I have irregular period so idk when my "REAL" period is going to come. Is bleeding a sign of not being pregnant? please help me understand what is going on! D:

Next Choice will cause changes in your menstrual cycle. You might get your period earlier, which may be what happened. Your period can be lighter or heavier than normal.

I had my period about two weeks early after using next choice. I was told that 2 weeks after this period, I would have my normal cycle. Is this correct? If so, I am a week late, should I be worried?

Last week me and my boyfriend had sex. we didn't realize until AFTER that the condom had busted at some point. We rushed to Walgreens and bought Next Choice. Today, I went to the bathroom and noticed blood. I am not cramping. Is this my period or is it just a side effect occuring?

I usually get my period around the 15th of the month. Out of total character, I had unprotected sex on Jan 3rd. Within 12 hours I took next choice and 12 hours later took the second pill. I knew my period was due around the 15th and started to freak out when I didn't get my usually miserable PMS symptoms.

On Jan 11th I had a heavy flow, followed by a regular flow for a day, and lightly lasting until Jan. 17th. I went to the doctor and he said, my body was "resetting itself." However, I don't know if it's from the nerves and stress going on surround this and other personal matters, but I have been tired, sluggish, moody, nauseated, and noticed my boobs rounder than usual.

My next period isn't due until mid Feb. Should I be freaking out about these symptoms? I did buy a home pregnancy test but freaked out about taking it dreading a positive result. I know it will give me a piece of mind to be like, I'm just crazy I'm not pregnant but even at 33 years old, I'm hardly ready for the responsibility.

Any advice?

I had unprotected sex he didn't get off inside me but he did re-enter after getting off and we didn't wipe off. I took plan b and I am spotting like a week and a couple days after taking it. Also my period isn't supposed to start for another week. I'm not sure if it's the pill or if there is a good chance of pregnancy. Any suggestions of what it could be?

Hi, I've been reading through these posts and am a little freaked to find little on nausea. After a condom break, I took an emergency counterceptive within 24 hours. It's been about 2 weeks now and I've been feeling nauseous on and off for the past 3 days, also light cramping. I'm also totally freaking out, which could be contributing. But is it a side effect to feel nauseous so late after taking it?

Hi,
I hope you can help me. I'm so scared again. My boyfriend and I had sex on the 6th of this month, we used condom, but still I was afraid, so I took the next day pill on Sunday 8. Nothing happened the following days, after two days ago, on wednesday 11 we had sex again, twice. We used condom, and he cummed with the condom on the first time. he took it away, and then we took a hot shower after it, and we didn't use soup just hot water. After it, he wanted more, and we did it again, I placed another condom in his penis. We did it again and he didn't cum inside me. I'm scare with the change of the condom. I'm considering in taking the pill again, which I don't want to take because I already took it a week ago. My last period was on December 25th. What should I do? Should I take the pill? Can I be pregnant? I'm so scared. Thank you for taking your time with my concern. I will be so grateful. and I'm sorry if I interrupt you in any way, if I did so. I will be anxiously waiting for some answer. Thank you. Have a nice day.
