Question
I had unprotected sex, and got the morning after pill for it, a few days later I got my period. It is now the middle of my period and yesterday I had sex. Today I had cramps and noticed I weigh 134 when I normally weigh 127. I went to a doctor for a pregnancy test before I took the MA pill and it came out negative. What are some of the symptoms of being pregnant? I have no morning sickness or mood swings. As soon as I can figure this out I am going in for a contraceptive. Please help.
Answer
Unprotected sex can get you pregnant and expose you to sexually transmitted diseases. This is a perfect time to go get on an effective contraceptive method, and begin to use condoms. Talk about your concerns with the clinician you see.
