Morning after pill and cycle
Hi everyone,
I am 27 years old and not currently on the pill. I had an appointment schedule to renew my prescription but had intercourse prior and the condom slipped off. Even though we were also using spermicide, on the following day, Oct 4th, I took the morning after pill to be safe. My previous period ended on Sept 28th. A week after taking the morning after pill, Oct 10-12, I had three days of heavy bleeding/clotting along with thick mucous. I currently have a pack of pills but have no idea when to start them because I don't think those three days of bleeding constitute a period but I'm not sure when to expect my next one. It's worth noting that I'm not terribly concerned about pregnancy at this point because of the heavy bleeding one week after the pill. It is also worth noting that I'm not terribly regular anyway due to heavy duty meds (methotrexate- the reason I was concerned enough to get the morning after pill!) I'm afraid that high dose of hormones will throw the cycle off even further and have no idea when to start this pack of pills. Doc isn't much help; getting the pills to begin with was more of a hassle than it should be. Thanks for your help!

Hey always remember for taking medicine consult with your GP or doctor. Don't ask community people. We can't give you better suggestion as we don't know what has happened to you. Doctor know best
I'm not worried enough to call a physician. If I don't get the regular cycle this month I'll wait until next month to start the pills. I guess I was looking for similar experiences from other women who had used the MAP. I understand fully that the Internet is not full of doctors; but doctors aren't often full of first hand anecdotes either. Thank you for your concern.
