Question : I've lost my virginity this Sunday and during this there were moments when he was inside me without a condom. Since than I had sex one more time on the Monday, unprotected. However, he did not cum inside me or near my vagina. I went to the doctor yesterday and despite me explaining what happened they felt the need to give me an ellaOne 30mg tablet, which I took immediately (approximately 24 hour ago). Ever since I took it I started feeling some sensations in my uterus, not pain but as if something is moving. Today I've noticed that I've been urinating more often than usually and on few occasions I felt m menstrual pain. At one point I did feel a bit sick (this had happened to me quite often a few months ago, when I was still a virgin and was told that it is due to stress; I've been stressing out this period quite a lot as well). I want to know if these symptoms are expected when taking this pill or should I be worried?

Also, they said that ai should call if I don't get my period in 2 weeks, but when should I expect it, the earliest (last one was on March 18th) and am I allowed to drink alcohol in these two weeks?

Brief Answer:
Urinary tract infection can be there

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Unprotected intercourse can lead to urinary tract infection which leads to frequent micturition, pain in lower abdomen and tingling sensation in lower abdomen.
The pill has side effects like nausea, upset stomach and gastritis.
Periods will occur after2 weeks from taking the drug.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy cannot be detected so early

Hi dear, pregnancy cannot be detected so early after intercourse.
