Hallow Dear,

If you have taken morning after pill within 72 hours of the unprotected intercourse, it should give you fair protection against pregnancy.

The morning after pills do cause some bleeding few days after their consumption, which you had. So it is not an issue of concern.

These pills are known to delay the following periods by few days to a week or so. Hence, your periods are delayed. Please do not panic. You should get your menses within few days.

You have performed pregnancy tests on urine too early. These tests are reliable about a week after the missed period. So please wait for one week. If still you do not get menses, you may repeat pregnancy test on overnight early morning first urine sample.

If in spite of negative reports, still your menses are delayed for more than 10 days, you may take some progesterone preparation like Deviry for 5 days and you will get withdrawal bleeding within 4-7 days.

Bloating and abdominal pain are not classic symptoms of pregnancy.

I hope this resolves your dilemma.
