What Causes Pinkish Vaginal Spotting And Tender Breasts After Non Penetrative Sex?

My boyfriend and I messed around on Sunday morning. There was no actual penetration as we were clothed. He came so he went to the bathroom to change. I was so caught up in the moment that I don t remember if he washed his hands after changing. Once he was finished changing, he started to finger me a little. This entire thing lasted about 3 hours. I was fertile so I panicked. I ended up taking the emergency contraceptive pill called Take Action maybe 30 minutes after we finished. Today is Thursday evening and I m experiencing breast tenderness and light spotting. Is this a normal side effect or could I be pregnant? Please help! We aren t financially stable to afford a child right now

hi thanks for writing to us
breast tenderness and spotting may be a side effect of hormone in the pill
it is very rare for pregnancy to occur without penetration,but still a possibility is there as even pre ejaculation fluid can contain sperms
wait for the next periods if delayed do a urine pregnancy test
some times cycles may be early or delayed after emergency contraceptive pill intake
hope this information was useful
