Hey guys please help me out here. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on the 5th of April and the last time I had my periods was on the 29th of March. So I thought I'll just take the morning after pill, but then I got so delayed, because I didn't have money to buy it and by the time I had money they said at pharmacy that I should have took it within 72hours which I didn't know about. So I just thought I'll wait for my periods to come. On the 6th of April I noticed that I had a white thick discharge which I usually get when ovulating and I realised I could be ovulating and I thought I could be very fertile at that time. And my periods are usually due on the 26th and last for 3-4days. After 4 days or so I started feeling funny on my abdominal, not craps, but almost as if there's something moving, something is going on and I suspected I could be pregnant and then I had sex with my boyfriend on the 14th again but he pulled out before coming inside of me, but I took a morning after pill on the following day and now on the 20th I just suddenly started bleeding, and had cramps, but they don't feel like period pain cramps, they are unusual and uncomfortable and the blood is brownish, but it's not spots, heavy but not very heavy and they smell so different and not like period smell. Oh and when I'm ovulating I usually have the discharge until the day of my period, but this time they just stopped after 3 days and came back a day before the bleeding. Could I be pregnant and now I'm just having the peel side effect or what's going on? Because I really don't know what to think anymore. And 2 days I started bleeding I vomited in the morning and my breast have been feeling tender before taking the morning after pill.

The bleeding is likely from the morning after pill. Did you read the side effects you can expect from taking the pill? It will be in the box the pill came in. You should read it so you know what you can expect.

As for the movement you say you felt, that would put you at around 20 weeks of pregnancy, that's when women usually start to feel movement.

The morning after pill should not be used as a form of birth control, it's really not good for you, and should only be used for emergency purposes (the condom breaks etc).

If you continue to use the pull out method, you will eventually become pregnant. Lower the risks of pregnancy and start using at least 2 forms of birth control (the pill and condoms are a good combo).

Thank you for your reply:)

What I meant by movement, I didn't mean a baby moving no. That is too soon. But I felt something strange going on after 3 days I first had unprotected sex.
