    Morning After Pill bleeding

    Right, well I'm 15; the day after my period ended my boyfriend of 9 months convinced me to have sex with him which ended in the condom breaking, within 24 hours I took the morning after pill and a week later I started bleeding and I thought it was my period because it was quite heavy, then after that finished 7 days later, a week passed and I started having brown discharge which was very thick (ick I know) and been having some abdominal pain and been quite stressed and having trouble going to the loo and lost my appitite completely, I am due on my period on boxing day, I was just wondering if this is normal after taking the morning after pill, tomorrow I have an appointment with my GP to make sure the pill worked but I just wanted some peace of mind and wether the same has happened to anybody else, because right now I'm just so scared and nervous wether it didn't work

    Yeah, expect to have bleeding and/or spotting. From what I understand, that pill kind of resets your cycle, so you may not get your period on boxing day. You may have irregular cycles for a month or two until your body readjusts.

    Eat healthy and take a fiber supplement if you need too.

        your going 2 the doctors so they will explain more in detail...ive not taken 1 myself but no someone who has and like you she bled and worried and it was just like sourpuss said...resetting your cycle so 2 spk and allowing your body 2 get back in2 a routine.
        what actually worries me most is you say your boyfriend convinced you 2 have sex...which sounds as if you werent 100% consenting for whatever reason...dont let this situation happen again..if your not 100% willing voice this!
        hope all goes well!

          Yeah I'll keep that in mind

          and yeah, I wasn't too sure about it because I didn't really feel ready to do anything like that but he was saying that I couldn't want to be with him, and that so I basically had to do it to convince him that I did want to be with him. :/ but I regret it now because I think he just said it so that I would have to sleep with him, I'm not planning on doing it again though, I've made it very clear to him :/

          thank you for the advice and help

              Feeling sick and having bleeding constantly or off and on for awhile is normal. You just dumped an overdose of hormones in to your body and messed up all the feedback that was going on. The hormones kind of take over and tell your body things that aren't true so it won't get pregnant or continue it's normal cycle. It will take awhile for your body to straighten it all back out again and act normal. Your next period may even be later than usual so don't panic if it doesn't happen when you think it should.
