Not sure if morning-after pill worked
Hi all
I had unprotected sex over 2 weeks ago (july 24). My period was supposed to come that same day. I know it is less likely to get pregnant, however I took a morning after pill less than 24 hours after sex. I'm also aware it may delay your period but it has been 16 days already and nothing. What worries me is that I've had constant white discharge since then (which is a bit smelly) and a week ago I started to have sporadic cramps, which last for 15 secs or less. When the cramps started I really thought my period would come but it didn't. I'm considering getting a pregnancy test but what are the chances? Help, please!

Hello,
Having sex on the day when your periods were expected would not cause pregnancy. If you are having signs of pregnancy, I would suggest you to get your serum HCG levels estimated since this is more specific than urine for pregnancy tests. The HCG (it is a hormone) levels rise only in pregnancy and its presence will confirm the status of your pregnancy.
I hope it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Since you took it within 24 hours, the likelihood is very slim, but I would go ahead and test since it's over a week late. They're only $6-8 for a set of two.
Good luck!
