Miscarriage??

[Dmort45]

I had unprotected sex about 2 days after my period so I knew I had to take some emergency contraceptive. I know the sooner it work the better but I took it about 48 hours later. The box said I should be getting my period during my regular cycle. Which I did. I had a "normal" heavy period that lasted about a week. But now after my period, I have gotten a yeast infection, I have pink discharge, cramps, and lower back pains. I don't know what this means and could use some help! Thank you.

My sister's taken an emergency contraceptive and had the exact same issue. Nothing to worry about, you can go to the doctor to get it all checked out.

The emergency contraceptive is a super-concentration of birth control pills. It is more than likely your body adjusting and no where near a miscarriage as you would have to pregnant first to miscarriage. All the EC does is prevent the egg from attaching-- if you're already pregnant, then the EC does nothing. It does not cause a miscarriage.

Hi there.  I commend you first of all for being so responsible and taking pan b rather than having an accidental pregnancy (which is hard)!  Your body is most likely adjusting to the hormone blast it just received.  Irregularity also may be something you experience next month (as is commonly reported).

If you have a yeast infection, you can see your doctor or treat over the counter.  If you have more cramping issues, it might be worth a call to your doctor to see if they'd like to see you.  But I'm guessing this will dissipate rather quickly.  good luck hon
