Been happening for some days now
well me and my boyfriend had our first time on saturday night and we used condom of course because I'm not on birth control at the moment. He cummed inside the condom but took it out as soon as he did (obviously with the condom still on), I was a bit paranoid the next morning so I decided to take a morning after pill yesterday which calmed me. But ever since Saturday I've had this craving to eat sweets or chocolate for some reason and I feel like I've been eating more since I had sex with him, is it normal to crave chocolate or sweets days after sex??? Please I'm so confused!!

Ditto for all adviceman said.
I know you may not feel ready to get a prescription for birth control if you wonder how long you'll be with the boyfriend or have had gaps in between dating where it feels useless to be taking a birth control. It is better to be on a birth control and ready for whenever you meet a guy you like enough to want to have sex with.
Maybe the pill is too much fuss and bother but there is also the contraceptive shot that lasts about 3 months before you get another one, less fuss and great for those who dont mind needles.
My favorite though is the IUD, intra uterine device, which is placed inside by Dr. and remains there for around 10 years for most brands. There is one with hormones, Mirena and there may be more by now, but theres also a non hormonal one, the copper iud which I used before having kids and wore it 7 yrs before having it removed to try to get pregnant. The copper works by making the lining of the uterus too slippery for the egg to attach to. Its fuss free, you're always ready and protected, cost effective over time, and theres no time for body to rid it self of hormones once removed, so one can try to become pregnant right away.
As to whether its normal to have any cravings after sex, I suppose it can vary with people. A good orgasm or two will release endorphins, a group of substances formed within the body that naturally relieve pain. In addition to their pain-relieving effects, endorphins help the body to release stress. Since endorphines make a person feel good and feel happier, perhaps it is not too far a stretch then for a people to turn to or have a craving for what ever it is that they usually turn to having when happy or things they feel make them happy. Thats how I would explain your chocolate craving. It's way too early for any female at that point to have possible pregnancy related cravings.

This may be a physiological reaction to the morning after pill. Between the condom and the morning after pill it is very doubtful you could be pregnant.
If you continue to stress out over this and worry if your pregnant I can guarantee you will miss your period. Stress and worry cause more missed periods in young people then pregnancy. Stress at school or at home and even at work can upset the natural balance causing a missed period.
If you are unable to calm down and continue to worry then wait ten days from the date you had sex and get a home pregnancy test kit. Follow the directions as to when and how to test.
Note: These test have more false positives so if you do test positive don't freak. Wait ten more days, buy a different kit and test again.
I really believe though you have nothing to worry about.
