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?

I had unprotected sex during my fertile period and took Nordette not more than 24 hours later. Three days after taking my last dose, Ive been experiencing mild cramps. It has been 7 days and still no period. I had a drop of spotting last night. Is that conception?? Help me please :( btw my last period was may 18 & i have 46 day cycle

Hello Anonymous,
If you do not have any bleeding within three weeks of taking the pill, then test for pregnancy.

hi , my last period ended on the 1st of May .. my boyfriend and I had sex on the 4th and we used the withdrawal method , he pulled out a bit to late so we went straight to the store to buy a morning after pill .. I took it immediately as instructed . A week later I experienced withdrawal bleeding . I was fine after that .. my period was suppose to come on the 28th May but it didn't , a week later my breast started paining and I feel bloated and I get abdominal pain like when my period is about to come but it never came .. I'm 19 days late and I took a pregnancy test on the 18th day using my first urine for the day and it was negative . I'm just wondering if I'm pregnant or is this just the morning after pill side effects ?
Please help , I'm really confused .
p.s - we haven't had sex since the 4th of May .

Hello Anonymous,
An emergency contraceptive can cause changes in the menstrual cycle. The bleeding was proof the pill was effective.
But a late period by 19 days is long. Consider speaking with your gynecologist.

Hi! So we did the deed last May 18. He put it in a couple of times but it was only just for a few seconds to a minute. He also did the withdrawal method and he did not immediately ejaculate right after he pulled out so I'm confident that he didn't ejaculate inside of me. However, we're both paranoid about the precum because he had a recent ejaculation before we did the deed. That's why 12 hours after the deed I took Trust Pills as an ECP and I followed the instructions religiously. (It is an oral contraceptive but it works as an ECP by taking 4 pills for the first dose and another 4 pills after 12 hours. This is the only form of oral ECP available in our country.)
So 6 days after taking the second dose of ECP (May 24), I had a withdrawal bleeding that had a very heavy flow and it even had clots (I assume the heavy flow is because I'm super irregular and I actually didn't have my menstruation for roughly 2 months already). The withdrawal bleeding was very much like a regular period and lasted for 6-7 days (May 24-May 30/31).
It is already June 15 now and I still haven't experienced any early pregnancy symptoms. So is it safe to safe that the ECP worked and that I'm not pregnant? (Note that we're sure that it only involved precum, he did the withdrawal method, and that I closely followed the instructions in taking the ECP and the withdrawal bleeding arrived on time.) Thank you!

Hello Anonymous,
Yes, the bleeding confirmed the pill was effective and you did not become pregnant.

Hello Anonymous,
The bleeding was proof the pill was effective and you did not become pregnant.
Changes in the menstrual cycle are a side effect of ECP. Your next period can start earlier or later than expected, usually not more than five days.
Flow might be lighter or heavier than normal.
