Morning after pill bloating

[AnaSilva0105]

I took a morning after pill one week and two days ago, after a condom malfunction. I had some side effects, one of them was bleeding, which just stopped 2 days ago, but I’m also bloating in the stomach and although I don’t feel pain, I feel a little discomfort. And because the bloating is not passing I’m feeling a little down mentally… It’s normal to still be bloating one week and two days after having taken the pill? Thank you!

It could be from the pill, sure, or it could be from things you're eating (it's the holidays, and not only are we exposed to a lot more sugar but also a lot of foods that have more salt than we might cook for ourselves.) Were you unable to find the FAQ's associated with the morning-after pill that I suggested you look for? They will say all the usual side effects.

I read that bloating is normal, but I couldn’t find much information about timeline, because it’s already been a week and a few days, that’s why I wasn’t sure if it would be still normal.
About the food I found it unlikely to be that, as I’m really careful about my alimentation…

As I mentioned in your last post, the morning-after pill has very strong effects. It isn't surprising to still have them after only a week and a few days. Some women report that their cycles are affected for the next month or two. Check the package insert and see if they have a toll-free number you can call with questions.
