Could I be pregnant?

Question

I took the morning after pill early August. In July I got my period on the 23rd. In August I got my period on the 18th. When September came around I was expecting it around the 20th. It still hasn't come and it's September 26th. I'm cramping and my boobs are tender, which I know is a sign of pregnancy, but I also get those symptoms when my period comes, but I've had these symptoms since September 10th. Could the morning after pill mess up my cycle or could I be pregnant?

Answer 1

It's really hard to tell, but you should take a test to be sure!! I have read that if you don't take the test properly, it won't take the proper effect! Wait a couple more days and take a test if your cycle doesn't come! Stress and worrying can delay your cycle as well!

Answer 2

You should talk to your OB - but yes, I think the morning after pill could have some effect on your cycle. However, if you've missed your period for this long and your boobs are sore, then you definitely could be pregnant. You should go to the drugstore and get an early pregnancy test (First Response is good) and if it's positive, then contact your Doctor. They will give you an actual blood test to confirm that you're really pregnant and then you can discuss options with them. If the test is negative and you don't get your period for another week, then don't wait and go see your Doctor. It's important to find out what's going on with your body. Good luck!

Answer 3

The morning after pill is nothing but a concentrated dose of normal birth control pills. It is supposed to prevent implantation and supposedly has no effect if you are already pregnant. So in short since it is a hormone cocktail it can mess up your cycle. If you think you might be pregnant take a pregnancy test. By the way abstinence is the best form of contraception.

Answer 4

You know the best way to find out is a pregnancy test. Pregnancy symptoms and menstrual cycle symptoms are very alike and will definitely confuse you and by the way every woman has a different way of knowing what exactly they have so you really cant get a lot of help here.

Answer 5

It is a possibility the pill could effect your cycle, it may come in in or around this week. If not i would certainly get tested for pregnancy.

It sounds like your periods are not regular as it is (they are close though) but taking a form of contraception could effect your cycle. I would wait throughout this week and then see.

Answer 6

This is odd! You took the mornig after pill in July, but you experience pregnancy symptoms in September. I think a side effect to the pill is that it may cause your cycle to be irregular. My theory is that this could be the side effects to the pill and not to pregnancy!

Answer 7

Now if your periods are usually very predictable and regular, you might want to go to the store and buy a pregnancy test. You have been experiencing the symptoms for a while. From my own experience, if you decide to buy a pregnancy test, the cheap ones are just as accurate.

Answer 8

sweet, stress from worrying can bring the phantom pregnancies forward. ur naturall hormones will bring an unexpected dose of oestrogen hence the symptomns.
have thought in the future to some women who cant have kids and have the abilities of bein a good mother, so in future use contreception till ur ready. all the best

Answer 9

Try a home pregnancy test, and for 100% accurate results...talk to a doctor.

Answer 10

When was the last time you had sex? If you had unprotected sex between August 18th and now, you could be pregnant. If you had sex before August 18th, then you are not pregnant.
