How To Confirm Pregnancy?
Hi. I took the morning after pill last Wednesday, and the last day of my period was last Monday. I am now bleeding again and feel bloated. I also have pains in my abdomen, but they feel different to my normal period pains (which are usually very acute). Could I be pregnant, and since my period ended so soon before taking the pill, when would I be able to take a test to find out?

Hello,
If you are not on regular birth control pills and did not take the emergency contraceptive pills in time, had unprotected sex than you an be pregnant. To confirm pregnancy you can take a pregnancy test with a pregnancy test kit. Collect the first morning mid stream urine in a clean container and do the test. If you are not sure or nervous you are suggested to visit a gynecologist. Get clinically examined by a gynecologist, get urine or blood test done to confirm pregnancy, If you are pregnant you will be managed if not you will be treated accordingly. Avoid stress, take adequate rest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
