Could I still be pregnant if my home pregnancy tests and beta hCG blood test are both negative, or are my missed period, tiredness, nausea, and stomach cramps side effects of taking the i-pill?
It is highly unlikely that you are pregnant. A negative beta hCG blood test, alongside negative home tests, is extremely accurate. The symptoms you are experiencing?including a missed period, fatigue, nausea, and abdominal cramps?are actually very common side effects of the i-pill (levonorgestrel). This emergency contraceptive contains a high dose of hormones that can temporarily disrupt your menstrual cycle and mimic early pregnancy symptoms. Your body is simply adjusting to the medication. If your period is delayed by more than a week or if your cramping becomes severe, please consult a healthcare provider just to be safe.
