Took Emergency Pill and still nervous!

Hi everyone-

I took the "morning after pill" about 2 weeks ago because I was nervous about getting pregnant. A couple of days ago I had some bleeding for about an hour and then slight spotting later that afternoon and yesterday.

It wasn't a full period and yesterday and today I've woken up with very sore and painful breats- a symptom I had when I got pregnant a few months ago.

Could I still possibly be pregnant even with the slight spotting I had?? Or is it a symptom of taking the emergency pill?

Thanks!

I took the morning after pill too, about a year ago. I don't think breast soreness is a side effect of the morning after pill. My breasts did get sore (I was pregnant). Spotting is also very common in pregnancy at about 10 days. I hate to scare you, but I would take a test. You sound pregnant.

It's possible that the estrogen in the EC could be what's making your breasts sore, but we don't hear too much about breast soreness from women who've used EC.

I haven't taken a test yet but a couple of days ago I got a full blown period. So I'm assuming that I'm not preg. I have an appointment with my gyno for an anuual in about a week and a half so I'll know for sure by then.

Thanks for all the advice!
