Hi, i have sex 4 days after my period ends. During sex we had condom on, but found out it was broken later. Then had morning after pill within 24 hours. Menstrual cycle average 33-35 days. Flows last around 5-7 days. Would there be any chances of getting pregnant? Is there any other symptoms shows that no pregnant other than waiting for the next period? Heard that the pill will affect the period comes later or might be earlier.

Need some advises. Thanks

You have already taken ECP and done all you can do right now to prevent pregnancy from happening. What you can do is just try to stay stress free and wait for your next period to come. You can also get pregnancy test kits to test around the time your next period is due.

Do note that ECP messes up the menstrual cycle and it'll be no surprise if your period comes earlier, later, or last for few weeks continuously. Give your body up to 3 months for the hormones to get back to norml

Avoid having sex during fertile period. After that, feel free to have sex. You can also have fun without having penetrative sex, although not as awesome but it is a good stress reliever as well. wink.gif

So far I haven't seen any limits on the amount of ECP that can be consumed a month but it is commonly acknowledged that ECP being for EMERGENCY use only, shouldn't be taken frequently. Yes, there are lots of other side effects. Some will experience it and some don't. Not everyone will have their menstrual cycle messed up. Each time you consume ECP, you may also experience different side effects. If you've read thru this thread, I've mentioned before that sometimes when I take ECP, there is no effect on my body or menstrual cycle at all. However, there are few times when I had continuous bleeding (up to 1 month bleeding). More common ones are having my period come early few days after taking ECP. Again, everyone body is different and the pills affect everyone differently. From my personal experience, I haven't experience vomiting, headache or dizziness before. It works most of the time so don't worry yourself too much. Stress is one of the biggest culprit in delaying menstruation.

My menstrual cycle doesn't come on the same day every month. So not sure on when is the exact fertile period. To be safe think not to have sex till the next period comes. smile.gif

For some reason, many people tend to think that period must come on the exact same day of each month to be stable. I don't know if you think that way too or you phrase your sentence wrongly. But I just wanna point out that every month does not have the exact same number of days and menstrual cycles can range anywhere between 25 days to 35 or 40 days. How you know whether the cycle is stable of not (and how you predict your next menstruation dates) is by calculating the number of days in your cycle. If your period came on the 5th this month, it does not mean that your period will come on the 5th next month.

Normally i count roughly in which week my period probably will comes. Don't think it will come the exact date every month. And from what i remember, thats seldom happen too. So normally i just see by week. biggrin.gif

And yay! icon_rolleyes.gif My period came yesterday. So many days earlier then the due date. Stress released! biggrin.gif So when period comes means confirm won't pregnant, right? biggrin.gif

Accident happen cham lo...hahaha. well then its best to stay away. Then the best is to practice your foreplays then.  rclxm9.gif

Well as munkeyflo have advised, there is no limit to how many you can take but then ECP can cause inconsistency in your period and it will take some time for your cycle to be back on track again. Do take note that ECP is purely hormonal tablets. The side effects that you see on the web is only lesser then a handful.

Ya. Really could't depends on research or guess what is the side effect till ownself really experience it. Period came so many days earlier. Hope menstrual cycle can get back to normal soon. thumbup.gif

Calculate the number of days usually just +- 1-2 days if stable, shouldn't differ by the weeks. Get a period app on your smart phone to be more accurate and convenient to chart the cycle.
If you have a nicely chart menstrual cycle, spotting your ovulation dates (unsafe time) is much more easier. I'm not saying you must but just giving you more info.

Thanks for the useful info. Is there any app that you can recommend? Which would be nice to use and could count the most accurate? Or actually all the same? tongue.gif Maybe i should get 1 and try. biggrin.gif
