Hello k****

thanks for your query

you had protected sex on Tuesday and you took morning after pill on Thursday which is more or less in time.

Morning after pills are emergency contraceptive agents which usually contain higher doses of hormone PROGESTERONE alone or combination of PROGESTERONE and ESTROGEN. These drugs have proved very beneficial in emergency contraception but "there is cost of doing business" they come with side effects which may include nausea, vomiting, headache, rashes, breast tenderness, sore nipples, abdominal cramps etc. so morning pills should be kept for emergency only.

as per my opinion the symptoms most likely are due to side effect of pill and there is very less chance of pregnancy as in pregnancy such symptoms don't occur so early.
hope i solved your query thanks and kindly rate

hi! thanks for your query on HCM. as per the literature there is very little chance of failure of morning after pill if taken within 36 hours of unprotected sex.pain and tenderness in breast may occur at mid cycle or just before the onset of menses.for now you should wait for your period till 22nd.if it get delayed, than you can take urine pregnancy test on 29th.
