Had unprotected sex and took emergency contraceptive. Got my periods early
I had my first unprotected sex on 15th of this month. It was unplanned. And i took an emergency contraceptive after 30 hours of unprotected sex. Usually my menstrual cycle is about 32-35 days long. Today when i woke up i was having cramps like i have during my periods. And i also had dark brown colored bleeding. I have an app to track my periods. And acc to that app i was ovulating when i had unprotected sex. I am scared that i might be pregnant and the bleeding that im experiencing could be implantation bleeding. I had my last period on 4th of this month. So its quite unusual for me to have another period in the same month. Can anyone help me. Cause im freaking out

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
First, it takes several days for the sperm to reach your wall of the womb. What looks like a short distance to you is like a zillion miles to travel for that wee little sperm so small you can't see it unless you have a microscope. So if you took the plan B in 30 hours, you are likely not pregnant. However, the emergency contraceptive is like a way stronger dose of the pill all at once so it can play havoc with your normal cycle. I am a female and I know whenever there was brown colored bleeding, it meant that a period is supposed to start but is being delays by something. And the cause to delays in physical or mental stress so worrying, being sick, recovering from being sick, some contraceptives including plan B and even being around other women alot and your body changing it's timing to coincide with that of the other womens periods, are all reason for the brown fluid to show first in a delay. The last one is true, I've read of it and experienced it myself when the small office of 4 other women and myself eventually began to have periods at the same time each month. If you've already had a period and this is a second one in the same month, againe i have to say that the emergency contraceptive is probably at fault You might want to call your doctor and let them know when you took Plan B or if you can tell them exactly the brand name so they know what ingrediants you got, tell everything you told us here and let them know you had a period before the sex, took the pill and now have brownish bleeding. Then ask if that is normal and if you should come in for an exam. You will have peace of mind if you go in and get a check up. A pee test can show if you're pregnant and if the cycle doesn't return to normal, it could be a different period related issue that happened to coincide at the same time. And an exam would be a good way for the Doctor to start looking for any period disorder that may be present. These are uncommon and as far as I've read don't create a brownish liquid instead of a real red flow. So you don't have to freak out but you might want to get on a trust worthy type of contraceptive so I still vote for seeing your doctor.

I've been like this, my friend, it's pretty desperate. If you are pregnant, you will undergo an intense transformation, so first breathe and understand what is happening to you. Then decide if you want to follow or not with the pregnancy, to help you in this decision you can find a doctor and take your doubts when you are decided (remember that it is your body and you decide) look for specialists and know the next steps to be taken. Good luck and get it right!
