Took Morning After Pill But Now 2 Weeks Late Posted: 10-22-03 06:10am
Hi,
my girlfriend and I had sex 2 days after
she'd finished her period, but had an
accident with a condom (came off inside
her), so the very next day she took the
morning after pill (levonelle). She then
had some bleeding a few days later.
Her cycle is usually about 30 days, but
she started her last period on 8th
september, so she's quite late now.
We've done two pregnancy tests
(clearblue), more than a week after she
was late (a number of days apart) , both
came out negative, quite faint but
definatly no cross.
Now she is so stressed and worried about
being pregnant that I think this might
actually be causing her to be this late!
The doctor said she might have irritable
bowel syndrome as well, as she's been
feeling ok in the mornings, but stomach
pains after she's eaten.
The doctor was very unsympathetic and just
told her to wait longer and do another
test (wait longer!) - so we are going to
do another one this evening (the clearblue
says its so sensitive that it doesn't need
to be done in the morning and it will be 2
weeks since she should have started).
If this one's negative what do we do??
There could be something else causing
this, but what do people think about the
risk of being pregnant? The condom was
spermicidally lubricated by the way.
Thanks.

My friend just told me that worrying about
being pregnant and thinking you are
prolongs from your period from coming
because mentally you persuade your body
... So please help her to be less
stressed! You being stressed doesn't help
out.. And by what you have described, it
doesnt sound likely that she is.

Get a Blood Test, Posted: 10-22-03 16:43pm
I'm not sure y ur doctor didn't offer
this. At home tests can be inaccurate
due to low hormone levels along with using
them wrong. She may be preg.

Chilly
you were right. Did another test last
night - negative. 2 hours later - period!
Yay! Thanks for your post, all the
best.
