The symptoms you describe?unexplained crying, loss of interest, and trouble concentrating?are common signs of depression or anxiety. Anxiety itself can frequently cause physical symptoms like chest pain. Sometimes, underlying physical conditions like thyroid issues can also mimic these feelings. Because you are experiencing chest pain, it is very important to visit a healthcare provider for a thorough checkup to rule out physical causes. Please reach out to a professional; there are highly effective treatments and support available to help you feel like yourself again.

While the risk of pregnancy during your period is low, it is still possible. For peace of mind, you can safely use emergency contraception. Your primary oral options are levonorgestrel (most effective if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex) or ulipristal acetate (effective for up to 120 hours). Another highly effective option is having a copper intrauterine device (IUD) inserted by a healthcare provider within 5 days. Please consult a local pharmacist or doctor as soon as possible to help you choose the best option for your timeline. There is no need to panic; you have safe, reliable choices available.

Taking the emergency contraceptive pill Unwanted 72 (levonorgestrel) so quickly makes it highly effective, significantly reducing your pregnancy risk, even during your ovulation window. Your next period should arrive around its usual time, though the hormones may cause it to be a few days early or up to a week late. If your period is delayed by more than seven days, taking a home pregnancy test is recommended.

Semen near the vagina carries an extremely low risk, and you wisely took emergency contraception. The bleeding you experienced a week later is a very common side effect of the emergency pill, which can also delay your next period and cause temporary bloating and gas. Having four negative pregnancy tests is excellent news and highly reliable. Your body is likely just adjusting to the hormonal shift and stress. Try to rest, and if your period is delayed by more than another week, please consult a healthcare provider for peace of mind.

Taking the emergency contraceptive pill, levonorgestrel (Unwanted 72), introduces a high dose of hormones which frequently causes menstrual delays. Regarding your desogestrel/ethinylestradiol daily pill (Femilon), if you took it consistently every day after starting, it would have been fully effective by day thirteen. While the risk of pregnancy is relatively low, the delay in your withdrawal bleed is likely due to the emergency pill. For your peace of mind, I recommend taking a simple home pregnancy test.

It is very common to experience a delayed period after a medical abortion, and I understand this can be worrying. Usually, your cycle returns within 4 to 8 weeks as your body resets its hormone levels. Other reasons for a delay can include emotional stress, physical anxiety, or even a new pregnancy, since your fertility can return quite quickly. To give you peace of mind, I recommend taking a home pregnancy test if it has been over 4 weeks, or visiting your doctor for a simple follow-up check.
