Is it a period?

I took the Morning After Pill 5 days ago, and had sex 2 days ago using a condom. Im bleeding and got stomach pains, feels like a period but its 2 weeks early. Could it be because of the MAP? Last time i took MAP my period was normal. Anyone know whats going on cos its freaking me out!

    It's more than likely that it is your period.
    I would make an appt. with your doctor though, to dicuss contraception if you are forgetting to use condoms.
    The morning after pill shouldn't be used in the place of contraception.

    i'm having morning after pill worries aswell! ive taken it a couple of times before and, like you, my period came at the normal expected time. this time though i had some very light bleeding a few days after taking it, this wasnt my period, but apparently this is normal, but now my period is a few days late.
    It is normal for your period to be later or earlier than normal after taking the MAP, but you should go to the doctor if it is more than 5 days late, or if it is much lighter or heavier than usual.
    Guess i'll be making a trip to the doctors soon! <IMG SRC="confused.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
