im so confused, fatigue etc?
Hello, i took a Morning after pill the day after i had unprotected sex which was about 3 weeks ago, well i got the normal symptons such as spotting and bleeding, however that did stop..
But i keep feeling fatigue in me, like constantly i don't feel ill or nauseous or anything its just that and sometimes i get abdominal pains. Why am i still getting these?
And how long can your period be delayed for? normally i would be getting signs that my period is going to come around this time and nothing has happened? the more i think about it the more i stress, because the person i had sex with is not my boyfriend we were seeing each other and that..
I'm thinking to do a pregnancy test tomorrow, however a lot of girls said that their period was delayed by 2 weeks or something, im really scared i don't want to be pregnant.
My fatigue comes and goes, are these symptoms normal since its been 3 weeks since i took the pill!? please im really confused.. by the way im 19.
THANKSSSSS

You have one sign of pregnancy. In and of itself that does not mean you are pregnant. Taking a home pregnancy test should put your mind at ease. should it be positive wait a few days, about 5 and take it again. These test give more false positives than negatives. If both tests are positive then you need to see a doctor for a medical pregnancy test and exam to confirm the home test.
Chances are the stress you have put yourself under are the cause of the fatigue and missed period. Stress is the biggest killer of periods. This is followed by changes in exercise patterns, medications such as antibiotics you might be taking and diet. Though stress is the biggest is the biggest problem to overcome. It not only can delay your period it can also cause depression. Depression can cause other medical problems including temporary cessation of of your period.
My advice is to try and relax. Take the home pregnancy test and see what the results are. Make sure to follow the directions on the box. If you took morning after pill on time, which you did, then the odds favor you not being pregnant

Those are signs of pregnancy, but I can't say for sure, no one can..except for a doctor.
Also, stress delays your period as well so don't stress out.
When I had a pregnancy scare, I had abdominal pains and always felt tired, but I ended up getting my period the day after I took the test.
So you're most likely fine and just freaking yourself out because you haven't gotten your period.
Take the test tomorrow to ease your mind.

Extreme fatigue is one of the symptoms of what women are feeling during the first trimester of pregnancy, the 3 months when babys begin development. However you could being feeling fatigue for many other rational/plausible reasons.
So take that pregnancy test and rule it out.
Periods can be delayed for great amounts of time when you've been ill and fighting off some bug or the stressing and worrying about pregnancy can make a period extreme late. I don't know how often you're sexually active. But for peace of mind for one thing, it might well be worth it to get on some trust worthy birth control. For that, you can go to Planned parenthood in case you don't have your own doctor and health insurance. You can also go see PP if you discover you are pregnant which is highly unlikely if you took the morning after pill within 3 days of having sex.
A common reason for women, especially young women to feel fatique is that after so many years of having a period and having little iron in your diet, that you develop iron poor blood and that will make you feel fatigue. A simple blood test for levels of iron can answer that. Then you'd need to educate yourself as to what foods are rich in iron and start putting those into your diet. As a female, I've had my iron dip low many times during my life and after the umpteenth time I began to recognize the signs of what it felt like and I would flood my diet for the next week with nothing but high in iron foods. Dont go but an ad on a package that says, "High in iron" if this is your situation, low iron. Read the numbers. One food might say 9 % iron and label says high in iron. the unmarked package says iron 20% iron. You can discover a lot on web searches on the topic.
Good luck dear and I hope too that you are not pregnant.
