Pregnant? Was on pill, went off, used emergency contraception, then had more unprotected s*x!

Question

Ok so my story is a little interesting. I have a 7 month old son and I really was not trying to have a baby per say even though I do want another one soon. Well my last period was July 23. I stopped taking the pill July 26 because we did not have enough money at that particular time because we had a wedding to go to. Later that week, my hubby got hurt at work and has been taking it easy and our funds even depleted more. So of course I did not pick up my pills. We had unprotected s*x 3 times last week. The third time which would have been day 8 (July 30) in the cycle, i took emergency contraception 2 days later on August 1. Well, on sunday we went to a family reunion and I saw at least two pregnant women and both my husband and I were thinking lets have another. We had unprotected s*x tueday August 6. I have no idea when i ovulated or if it will be different since i just came off the pill recently. I had this crampy feeling Monday August 4, and last night Wed August 6 i had a very light spot of pinkish/light brown blood (is this implantation?) and also this morning too August 7 (a little more crampineas). Do you think it has to do with getting off the pill, emergency contraception, or is it most likely I am pregnant? When should I take a test? And can ovulation and implantation happen really close together?

Answer 1

I think the best way to answer your question is to explain how emergency contraception, Plan B, works. It's a high dose of birth control hormones and prevents the implantation of a fertilized egg. A few days after you take the pill it should bring on your period. If it doesn't, you could be pregnant because it will not end an already established pregnancy where the egg has already implanted.

When you go off BCPs you may not ovulate for a couple of months until your body gets back into the swing of things. You usually ovulate 2 weeks after the first day of your period, which would have been yesterday, August 6 (Wednesday.) But because you just went off your BCPs you could have not ovulated or ovulated at a different time in your cycle.

Implantation bleeding occurs when the egg burrows into your uterus which is usually 2-3 days after conception. If it happens earlier then it could be regular spotting from going off your pills or it could be implantation bleeding from an egg that was almost out of your fallopian tubes already.

If you didn't get a period after taking Plan B then you could either be pregnant, or your body could be dealing with coming off the drug then getting a high dose of it. The only thing I could suggest is to wait a couple weeks and if you haven't gotten a full period then take a test.

Sorry it's so long-winded.

Answer 2

If you don't have enough money for birth control or condoms why would you think you could afford another baby let alone the one you already have.  I understand you're in a "rough patch" but what happens when you're in a rough patch when you have two kids???? I'm not saying your bad parents but you made it sound like you decided to have another child because you saw two pregnant women at your reunion? Think about this.

Answer 4

well, odds are you might be pregnant, wait 2-3 weeks then take a test. If you can't afford birth control pills, how will you be able to buy diapers?
