Am I talking nonsense or....?

[bon]

morning ladies,

Right, well some advice/thoughts are needed on my situation...
My last period was early february. My OH had a condom mishap and I took the morning after pill. We're not ttc - waiting until we're a bit older/financially secure etc.


I got my period just after that. Nothing since then.
I've taken tests which have come back as negative and been to the doctor who said to come back in 2 weeks if af doesn't arrive - that was a week ago.

I know I should just trust the tests but i have had the follosing symptoms consistently for 3 weeks - ridiculous bloating and TMI alert - a dodgy tummy when I go (Ihave issues discussing toilet related things - hope you can work out what I'm trying to say there!) also i feel like my stomach is changing shape and getting bigger (this may be easter though?)

I also keep dreaming about being pregnant and now realise how wonderful it would be...

anyway i've rambled enough - does anyone know of the morning after pill not working? or negative results being false? finally, if we did concieve in the first week of February how far along would I be?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your last period, home pregnancy tests should be showing up a true reading by now but it has been known to get a false negative becayuse it depends on how much hcg hormone your body is producing and as for the morning after pill it is more reliable the closer you take it from having unprotected sex but i think they only say its 99% so just go back to your doctors in a week then you'll get confirmation either way hope you get the results you want x

Hiya,

Sorry to hear what you are going through.

I have no recent experience of the MAP, took a couple of times years and years ago and my periods were always irregular back then so dont know if the MAP affected any of my cycles.

I dont know if it is possible that you are pg, but if you only have another week to wait then I would definitely go back to the doctors and get them to check you out.

I hope you get some answers soon.

Good advice all round, thank you.

Think i'm losing my mind - baby fever is reaching new heights and I can't stop researching people who've taken MAP and still get negatives but then turn out to be pregnant. ahhhhhhhh!

Also my mum was pregnant 7 months with my eldest brother before she found out -got periods throughout?!

My friend took the MAP years ago and it totally screwed up her cycles. I suppose it's just like having a MC or abortion where it takes a while for your cycle to get back to normal.

MAP is only 98% effective if taken within the 1st 24 hours after sex. After that, the percentage rate falls quickly.
