Pregnant

Hello, about 6 weeks ago I had a mishap with the condom and took the morning-after pill. However, I also got my period afterwards. Now I have been waiting for my period for 3 days, pregnancy tests are negative - could it be that I had a bleeding/period and the pregnancy tests are negative but I am still pregnant? I would be around 10 weeks pregnant by now.

Hello,

Please excuse the late response, I hope your period has arrived by now.

The amount of hormones in the emergency contraceptive pill is significant, and as such, it is often the case that the cycle may shift slightly after taking it.

You wouldn't be in the 10th week yet, but even in the 7th week, the test should have been positive by now if you were pregnant. So you can relax even if the bleeding hasn't started yet.

If it is delayed by 2 weeks, you can visit a gynecologist.

I wish you all the best!

Sincerely, Dr. Gehring
