Morning After Pill question...

Did anyone miss a period after taking the M.a.p? I'm a month late now, I did a test but it was negative and all I can think of that might be effecting it is the fact that I took the m.a.p about 6 or 7 weeks ago

Its quite possible that is the reason. Maybe a trip to the docs if you nothing happens soon?
I read in the leaflet which came with mine that if your period was over 5 days late you were supposed to go to the doctor, though.
"How will emergency pills affect my period?
Your period may come earlier than expected or it may be up to a week late. Mostly, it comes within a few days of when you would expect it. You may experience some irregular bleeding between taking the emergency pills and getting your next period. This can range from spotting to being quite heavy."
If you're a month late it's probably best to visit your GP, just to be sure.
The leaflet says if it is late then go to your GP, which is probably your best bet as it will put your mind at ease if nothing else.
Sorry Faith! I think you should probably get yourself down to a doctor. Is there a walk-in clinic anywhere near you where you can speak to someone?
Sorry if that`s nosey.
I took mine mid cycle & doc said 2 weeks time it works.
I had to register with a GP up in Surrey when I went to Uni up there, then when I came back I never bothered to regsiter with another GP down here. I've been back almost 2 years and have never needed to go to the doctor til now! I know I could register but I'm moving next month so I may aswell wait til then now.
The only reason I'm actually bothered is because I wanna start taking the pill but I can't til the first day of my period! or can I just start taking it?!
you can start taking your pill on any day of your cycle, but if it's not the first day of your period, you're not protected straight away. if you start mid-cycle, i don't think you're preotected for the first month, but don't quote me on that. it could just be a week.
Hmmm....I have no idea where in my cycle I am since I'm 7 weeks late.... Maybe I'll just start taking it now and carry on using other protection for a month, otherwise I might be waiting ages.....:chin:
i reckon that'd be fine.
a month would be plently long enough to rule out any pesky ovulation.
My nursey friend has just said the same thing so I think I shall do that. Thankyou as always
as far as the doctor goes, you can get a temporary one since you are registered somewhere else. when i go to the doctors at home where im not registered anymore i just fill in a form each time.
No cos like I said I've done a test and it was negative.
Tweety wasn't ignoring you hun, it's just that since I've not had one at all for 7 weeks i thought it'd be better to be safe than sorry and wait a whole month rather than a couple of weeks.
Looks like it
Story of my life .
eek, sorry. wasn't paying attention there
