Hello doctor.. one more day has passed and I am still suffering from nausea,vomiting and loose motions. Its the fifth day of my periods and the bleeding has almost stopped. I wonder if its because of the stress. I had taken an ECP too on fourth January. Could it be possibly be its side effects? And should I be sure I am not pregnant at all?

Brief Answer: DETAILED BELOW Detailed Answer: Since you had your periods, pregnancy is ruled out. Also, without vaginal sex, pregnancy is further impossible. Since you are so very apprehensive, go ahead and take a test anyway, it will be inexpensive and will provide you mental peace. The nausea, vomiting and loose motions are often side effects of the ECP, and stress related too. Take care.
