Hi! I need to know what to expect.
My cycles are 26-31 days long, depending on which side I ovulate. I am very educated about my body as I had trouble TTC my first DD.
The only form of BC we use are condoms. On CD 16 (I had EWCM, so I know I was fertile, but had EWCM since CD 11) When DH withdrew, the condom did not. I took the EC on CD17 and 18. I really think I O’d on CD14 so having EWCM, I knew there was a chance of pregnancy.
Here is my question: How soon should I expect the non-period bleeding from taking the EC? My normal cycle period is due May 16th-19th. Has anyone who took the EC not had any non-period bleeding?
We have two DD’s and at this point we really do not want a 3rd child, but if I am pregnant, we will just know it was meant to be.
Any EC users, please share your stories with me.
TIA
Logan


Hi
Jill
I used EC a number of months ago, but I forgot to use backup for a hormonal contraceptive while I was taking antibiotics. I had no unusual symptoms of any kind, my next period was normal, no intermittent bleeding, it was like nothing had happened at all.
Some women don't have any bleeding. Some women bleed twice. Some women wait a really long time for the next period, and some women see no changes to the current cycle but the next one is all screwed up. Anything is possible.
If you took the EC right away, odds are good that you took care of it. Right now there's nothing you can do but wait and if you're really antsy there are some pregnancy tests that are good even before you miss your period. Usually we recommend that you wait two weeks to test after whatever encounter is causing you concern--by then it seems likely that things would either not be happening or far enough along to show up on a test.
Good luck!
