morning after pill side effects
i took the morning after pill (last thursday) about 32 hours after the condom broke. now (about 3 days later) i sometimes feel sharp pain in my abdomen and my nipples are tender.. is this due to the hormones of the morning after pill cause i read that it can have side effects up to a week after taking it. and i had my last period about 3 days before the condom broke so i think i wasnt fertil enough to get pregnant. so is this a normal side effect? i know its also a symptom for pregnancy but as i said i think its unlikely and i dont think i'd get these symptoms so early. my boyfriend and i had pretty .. erm rough sex as well so may that be the reason why my abdomen hurts sometimes? cause he was pretty deep... not when he came though.. the condom ripped when he pulled out.

Maybe give some free advice about: Birth Control Pills?
You wouldn't be feeling pregnancy symptoms already. Far too soon. Cramping and pain is totally normal after taking the pill. It's most likely going to screw up your cycle for the next couple months (it might be off by days and I've heard of women skipping periods or having a wicked late one, while not being pregnant).
If you're more than two weeks late, take a pregnancy test. Sperm CAN live in your body for days. Assuming your cycles are regular, the condom broke when you weren't all that fertile (you're fertile typically around the middle of your cycle, if you're regular).
Consider using a more reliable form of birth control in the future. Hormonal birth control is highly effective. And, don't be scared off from hormones because of the morning after pill experience - there's a much lower, consistent dosage in birth control pills. Condoms can still be used for extra peace of mind and should be used for STD/STI protection.
