Morning pills: May I still be pregnant or is it just a bad side effect?
Hello! I’ve been lately with my partner having unprotected intercourse. He never ejaculated inside but he was always buying me « ellaone » to avoid pregnancy. I took it about 7 times last month, & now I’m missing my period (for about 20 days). I had urine & blood tests of pregnancy but turned out both to be negative. However, is there a chance I can possibly be pregnant or could it be only a side effect of ellaone? Highly appreciate your answers.

It’s very unlikely that toy are pregnant if you have had a negative blood test as those are extremely accurate. This is very likely a result of taking so many morning after pills in a short period of time. The morning after pill is a much higher dose of the regular comtraceptive pill so it seems plausible that that is what has messed up your cycle. I would say it really shouldn’t be used that often. Is there a reason you are not wanting to take regular contraception? If you are worried about missing pills / forgetting to take it every day then there are other options that solve that problem such as the depo injection or the implant.
So grateful to ur answer really!! Actually ye I was trying to avoid taking birth pills since I was worried about their potentiel interaction with a medicine I’m taking daily (Anti-dep). Thank you for your suggested alternatives, I’ll make sure to get information about that asap!
I see... yes that makes sense that you would be worried about interaction with your medication. There are for sure alternatives that could work & pose no concern at all for interaction... for example the copper coil (which is a little device which is placed into your uterus)... lasts for several years and is completely drug free / hormone free so no chance of it messing with your daily meds.
Definitely go talk to your doctor or local family planning clinic and they can get you on the right kind of contraception for your needs ☺️
This should be definetly helpful.. Thank you so much for your information
