Thread: Pregnant? Too early to tell?

Okay, so here is my story.

My husband and I had unprotected sex three times and he "came" three times. The next day, I took Next Choice, but I took the second pill late. I believe it was about 18 hours later? Could be more but within 24 hours.

I got my period 4/25 and ended 5/1. Usually my period lasts for 7 days. I usually get light brown discharge before and after my period but they both were only one day. Those were usually 2-4 days each before my period starts. So brown discharge before and after period + the period was days. Actual period 4 days.

I just finished my period and the day before my period ended I started getting abdominal pain and chest pain (like heartburn) and the feeling of throwing up. My husband believes that I'm pregnant but I'm telling him that I'm not cause I just got my period. But now that I'm having the abdominal pain, heartburn-like pain, and nauseated, I'm not sure.

Could anyone possible help me with this one. I'm not ready for a child right now. I'm still a student in college and I wanna put my studies first before having a child.

I don't wanna get a pregnancy test, cause I think it's too early. But I need your advice. Thank you in advance.

And if you're not, and you're really not ready for a child.....look into your options for protection. Next Choice (which I'm assuming is the morning after pill) is known to cause some side effects: cramping, bleeding, etc. Your side effects could be resulting from this. It's not meant to be used as birth control. Take care of your body...ya only have 1!

i had my period a week after i took the ecp. is that part of the side effects?
i'm experience soreness on my boobs once in a while too.. but the heartburn like pain keeps coming and going.
