Hi, I'm a high school senior who made a big big big mistake! My friend and I had decided to be friends with benefits. I know, that's a mistake in itself!

Anyway, I had ended my period on April 6th, and we had unprotected sex ( next mistake ) on April 8th.

I went to planned parenthood the next day around the same time we had had sex and got the morning after pill, took them, and got those out of the way.

Well, today is April 14th and I went to the restroom at school and was bleeding. That was weird since I had just ended and the morning after wouldn't make my period THIS early.

I got home and I wasn't bleeding anymore. Being paranoid as I am now, I looked online and read about implantation bleeding. Before I looked online, I noticed some of the discharge was kind of brown which is odd and the bleeding is gone. It was really light and quick.

I don't know what I should do. The morning after should have worked right? I'm just being really paranoid right? Should I go get a pregnancy test or try and wait it out until my period is supposed to come which should be around the first week of May.

Please please help me out! Thank you so much! I'm an athlete that could go to states this year for my track season, I can't have ruined it by being an immature, selfish, stupid thinking person! =[

Hii, can you help me?

Here's some info on the morning after pill that I found on the internet;

Women using the morning-after pill may experience a change in their next period. It may come early, on time, or be late. Most women will get their period 7 to 9 days after treatment. If your period has not occurred by 21 days after treatment, you should check this out with a pregnancy test.

The only problem with thinking it was an early period is that it's over already. I went to the bathroom, pee'd and there was some blood... I got home to put in a tampon, but, there was nothing there

The only advice I can think to give you is to go see your doctor and explain what happened, or call the clinic where you got the pills. I think that's the advice most everyone will give you.

I'm not a health expert and there wasn't allot of info that I could find on the internet.

Good Luck.

Thank you for your help! I really appreciate it! =]

Well... the thing is, implantation bleeding occurs roughly a week after "becoming pregnant"... but is often spotting, not full blown bleeding.

But then again, a side effect of EC is actually spotting as well, not to mention an irregular early period. You can have irregular spotting/bleeding until your cycle becomes back on track.

You said that you had unprotected sex on April 8, so I suggest you take an HPT roughly 10 days after unprotected sex... so on April 18. I know it's a long ways away, especially since you're worried, but you may just have to wait. Are you having any other weird symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, blurry visions, etc?

EC, although effective, isn't perfect. Take an hpt in a couple of days, and take it from there.

EC can cause spotting as you have experienced, it's not uncommon since this is a big hormonal whammy to your system. Your body says "Hey, what the heck's up? I'm supposed to bleed again already?" And you bleed, but your natural hormones say that you have already bled, so you don't bleed... thus spotting.

This may or may not throw off your period dates for a couple of months. Unfortunately, you are now playing the waiting game. You have to wait to see if you get your next period to test.

Sneezy, the symptoms you describe can also be common with EC as well as pregnancy and sometimes premenstruation.

While you can take a test before you miss your period, it is more accurate to wait until you are a week or so late.
