I took EC about 3days after having unprotected sex. About 2 weeks ago I started getting nasuea, fatigue, tender breast, loss of appitite, hightened sense of smell, and sudden headaches. All of which are unusual for me. I went to doctor and they said I was healthy. They did a urine pregnancy test and it came back negitive. I got my period on the 8th and it ended on the 12th. It was lighter than normal and I am still experiancing these symptoms. Is it possible I am pregnant?

I like "Butterfly..."'s response - very thorough.
When I was pregnant the doctor told me cramping was normal and bleeding was normal - but the two together were dangerous and NOT NORMAL!
A friend of mine didn't know she was pregnant for 6 months. She has very little body fat (because she was a runner) and she had some bleeding and since she was used to not having full periods all the time she didn't notice anything. She only found out when she started to show. Weird - I know. But now she and her daughter are very healthy.
If the doctor says you are not pregnant and you still have weird symptoms - go back and tell him. I'm sure he could do some tests to try to figure it out. I'd also ask the doctor the effects of EC on your body. I wouldn't worry though. You may just be "feeling" symptoms because you're nervous or guilty or whatever.. because of taking emergency contraception. It is possible to make yourself "feel" pregnant when you're not.

Question: Can you be pregnant and still get your period?
Answer: Well, no, you can't get your period once you're pregnant — once your body starts producing the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and your pregnancy is established, your menstrual cycle is interrupted and normal periods stop. But you may have bleeding or spotting during pregnancy that can seem like a period.
Some pregnant women have what's called "implantation bleeding" that can happen around the time their period is due, and they may mistake that bleeding for a period. This spotting may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of the uterus, a process that starts just 6 days after fertilization, and it's generally a lot lighter than a typical period — just a day or two of very light spotting.
If you're pregnant and you're not sure when your last period started, this can make establishing a due date difficult for your healthcare provider. If you have any doubts, your provider can feel how big your uterus is with a pelvic examination and estimate how far along you are. In most cases, your provider will also order an ultrasound before the middle of your pregnancy to measure the size of your developing baby and clarify exactly when the baby is due.
Many women who bleed a little bit in early pregnancy deliver without any complications, but bleeding can also be a cause for concern. It may be the first sign of a miscarriage. If so, your symptoms probably will go on to include heavy cramping and bleeding much heavier than a normal period.
Abnormal bleeding can also be a sign of ectopic or tubal pregnancy. If you have sharp pains in your lower abdomen, especially if the pain is only on one side, you should see your practitioner right way to find out if you have an ectopic pregnancy. A tubal pregnancy can be life-threatening, and sometimes the only symptom is bleeding around the time your period is expected. Often, the period may be lighter than usual. Sometimes a home pregnancy test will be negative, and the pregnancy can only be detected by checking blood hCG levels.
If you bleed at all early in your pregnancy, it's best to notify your doctor or midwife to get specific instructions. She may suggest getting a blood test to check your hCG levels or order an ultrasound to evaluate your condition more thoroughly.

No it is not possible to have a period and be pregnant. The change in pattern can be due to all sorts of health issues one being not eating much at all.

Yes, my gran had periods for her first 3 month, sometimes they arent really periods, its blood that is being cleared from the womb, impantation blood its called. Women sometimes mistake this for a light period.
All of the symptoms sound exactly like your pregnant.
I hope you are okay and not to panicked about it, Congratulations and Good Luck

I don't believe that you can get a period once you are pregnant. Take another test.
