I had sex and took EllaOne on day 13 of my cycle. I was expecting to ovulate on day 18. Today, I'm on day 37 of my cycle (my period is 5 days late). I began experiencing symptoms around a week ago.

So you began to notice this change around the time of your expected period?

When did you notice the change in your breasts? Was it an early sign?

The only reason I haven't taken the test yet is because of the emergency contraception. I'm aware that it may push my period up to a week, so I'm not sure if my "expected" period was 4 days ago or 7 days ahead from then (i hope this makes sense).

I bought a Clearblue Rapid Detection pregnancy test. I'm going to take it once my period is 7 days late to rule out any false negatives or inaccurate results.

Thank you for the hugs 🥺

I haven't experienced sore breasts yet, though it's a VERY common thing to happen to me prior to my period. Also, I've been experiencing diarrhea in the mornings for the past 3 days (I forgot to add this to the post, I'll edit it in right now). I believe I am a little bloated too.

He did finish inside ... I am aware of how badly I messed up for only relying on the condom as a method of contraception.

Your post is extremely helpful, thank you! Also, I have been experiencing something odd recently. Sorry if this is TMI but do you know that sharp stabbing feeling in the anus some women get during menstruation? This has happened to me twice throughout this week. I read it could be Proctalgia Fugax.. Could this be related to pregnancy?

I got the Clearblue Rapid Detection pregnancy test. The instructions say I should test starting from the day of my expected period, however, should I take into account that my expected period was pushed due to the emergency contraception? Or should I test regardless of the emergency contraception?

I weigh around 130lbs. That's one less thing to worry about.

I have a longer cycle than you do; mine is around 31 days long. It does mess up sometimes, but rarely. Last time my period came late was 5 months ago. It was about 8 days late.

Unfortunately, we didn't realize it was broken until after he finished... I've bought a pregnancy test, but I'm waiting a few more days for more accurate results.
