16-years-old... Morning after pill... Strange symptoms. Could I be pregnant?
Hi everyone. I'm only 16-years-old (a mature 16-year-old, however) and right now I'm really panicking over how my body's acting at the moment. Basically, I haven't been on my period for the end of November/beginning of December. Usually I'm not right on time or anything like that, my body tends to be quite irregular at times, but these past four months or so I've come on my period around the 25th of a month, just to give you a rough estimate. Anyway, I last had sex on October 21st. We used a condom but afterwards we realised that the condom was actually no longer on, so it might not have been on properly or may have slipped off accidentally. Anyway, the next morning around 13 hours later, I got the morning after pill. Around a week later I had some bleeding which I just thought of as my period, but now I'm not sure whether it was my period or whether it was my body still bleeding from losing my virginity (as this had been my first time). Like I've said, I've not been on my period since, and I'm experiencing constant, constant "discharge" that is more like water constantly coming from my body. I'm having to wear pads and tampons because it's so much and I don't know why this is. It's like I'm on my period but there's no blood, just a water-like substance. Also, my boobs are very tender and sore right now and I think they've grown a little, although I could just be adding it all up and making it into something that it's not.
Basically, this is pretty urgent because I'm extremely worried I could be pregnant. Is there a chance or is this normal?
My periods have never been that regular because of health conditions, as I used to suffer from anorexia and my weight fluctuated between drastic heights and lows within some years.
Please help. Thank you.

The morning after pill could be the cause of these symptoms. Side effects may include changes in your period, nausea, lower abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, dizziness, and breast tenderness. Some women may have changes in their period, a heavier or lighter next period, or a period that is early or late. If you do not have your period by 2 weeks after when it's due, you can always take a home pregnancy test. There was a time where I had to take Plan B and my period came 2 weeks late. (Trust me, I was worried, lol) but I took it one other time and it came on time, so sometimes it might matter where you are in your month that you take it, and as you had stated, your periods are not "regular" so this might not be anything to do with pregnancy. I would just give it a little more time, and if it seems to be 2 weeks later than when your period should have started, I would take a pregnancy test. You took it in the right amount of time, so it should be effective. It is 87.5% effective (which I know it's not 100% but definately better than nothing!) Just give it a little time. The Plan B may just be messing with you.

Thank you. I'm just extremely worried because I've also gained weight recently so it's all mounting up in my head.Originally Posted by lizzardb63
Also, can it still be the effects of the Levonelle even though I took it a month and a half ago?
Well, if I were you I would take a home pregnancy test, just to make sure. This will give you peace of mind and reassurance that it's not pregnancy, because if you are it would definately show up on the test by now.

I agree to take a pregnancy test. When I took the pill it did cause my period to be late and weight gain. My breast also became larger temporarily
Thank you so much for your help, guys. Yesterday I took two tests and thankfully I'm NOT pregnant! Yay
That's good. Probably just a side effect from the plan B then
