Hey I took the morning after pill (postinor 2) twice in 1 week,which was the 12th and 14th of december, out of panic, even though the condom didn't split.  Had backpains, felt hot etc. I am due to have my period on the 23rd december. I have testd, it says negative.  I just wanted 2 know if the period will be delayed? And by how long? I am feelin some discomfort, gas etc, as if my period, is coming, but I dnt know if that could also be pregnancy?

As I said in an earlier post, yes it would be obvious. You're looking way too much into this--I would strongly encourage you to reconsider your readiness for sex. You should not be this worried, especially considering you used protection.

EC should not be used more than 2x a year, because it's extremely unhealthy for the female body. It's similar to overdosing on birth control pills. It is only meant to be used if you messed up taking birth control pills, ripped condom, rape, etc--not as birth control or in place of birth control.

As for what's next, there's not much to do. You just have to wait it out. If you want, you can make a doctors appointment to have blood work done.

And also just to clarify, if a condom was to split, it would be obvious right?

So if at 14 days it says negative, but no period because of the pills, what's nxt?

[adura86]

Why is EC only allowed twice a year? Does that mean it won't be as effective if used more than twice?

Ah. Misread that-- Because of the time you had sex, the pills were actually just a waste of money. They need to be taken immediately after sex, and you took them 3 and 5 days later. Right now it's just waiting and seeing what will happen.

Had sex on the 9th december, used EC on 12th n 14th. Dnt know why. Its been its been 12 days since the incident.

Ah--didn't know you had multiple posts. It's possible that your cycle will be delayed. EC is only meant to be taken a max of 2x a year due to the high level of hormones it has in it. Because you used it twice in such a short amount of time, it causes your body to go crazy. You could skip your cycle completely, it could be early or it could be late.

You only waited 8 days after sex to test, which doesn't provide enough time to show an accurate answer. You need to wait at least 14 days to know for sure. Wait a week and retest. It would also be good to get on birth control in addition to using condoms, or reevaluate your readiness for sex. If the condom did not break and you used one the entire time, the EC was not needed.
