I had unprotected sex 5 days ago and I took the plan B pill 57 hours after intercourse. I found dry white discharge on my underwear and I researched it online. It told me this was a sign of pregnancy and I freaked out, that is when I decided to take the plan B pill. I have no knowledge of any of this and I don't have anyone to ask, so excuse me if I sound silly. I'm just really scared I could be pregnant. I'm not ready to have a child.

I've been feeling really different and bloated. Just today I began to feel bloated and what seems to be ovulating discharge but I don't know. I think I'm paranoid. Please help me. Could I be pregnant? I feel really fat, like bloated and heavy. I have some pain on my back.

Could I be pregnant or is this side affects of the pill?

Bloating with a woman is usually hormone or diet related... rarely pregnancy related. You won't have ANY symptoms of any sort for the first few months even if you are (other than a missed period which in this case Plan B can be responsible for)

As far as if you could be pregnant... its possible because Plan B isn't 100% effective. It might screw with your periods in the short term so I would take a HPT two weeks after your period is due... which will be the earliest way you can find out. Knowing being late in this case can just as easily be a result of Plan B as it is any other factor.

As well, since you're not really to have a child, you might want to use this time to evaluate how you have sex and what protection you can use to avoid future pregnancy scares. Take the time to talk to your doctor about possible brith control methods, from pills, IUDs, rings, patches, shots, implants, and barrier methods you should be able to find something that is right for you.

Good luck. And what smoothy said.

If there was penile insertion there is the risk of pregnancy. One can reduce those risk but not eliminate them. Taking Plan B 57 hours after sex is stretching its effectiveness.

The first true manifestation of pregnancy is missing your period. Any other symptoms could have multiple causes besides pregnancy. Even missing your period is not a positive sign. But you should wait about 2 weeks after your period was due to start testing (of course if your normal period comes, not need to test).

If you are not ready for a child then you should not be engaging in sexual intercourse. Its that simple.
