Hi everyone,
I’m really scared right now and would appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation. As someone living in a country with very strict abortion laws. I’m worried I might be pregnant, and accessing healthcare as unmarried women is legally near impossible.
My last period started on September 3, and I had sex on September 9 while I was still on my period (it was supposed to be my last day or so). We used a condom, which didn’t break, and I took Plan B/Levonelle the following day as an extra precaution. I continued bleeding for another three days, which I assumed could have been a side effect of the pill.
My period still hasn’t come this month, and I’m almost 15 days late. Around the time I expected it, I had what looked like the end of a period, but it was brown, clumpy discharge that was enough to fill a pad. It stopped after three days.
I’ve taken four at home urine pregnancy tests, including different brands, and they’ve all been negative. I know that’s reassuring, especially since it’s been over a month since I had sex, but I’m still extremely anxious because I haven’t had a proper period.
Has anyone experienced a significantly delayed period after taking Levonelle, despite negative pregnancy tests?
I’m scared of being pregnant and having limited options where I live, and of putting my health and safety at risk by trying to access abortion medication. I’ve looked into online abortion support services, but I understand they may require a confirmed positive test, and I’m unsure how to navigate this situation safely.
I also came across at-home blood pregnancy tests that look similar to blood glucose testing kits. Are these actually reliable? Has anyone used one, again I can’t access a blood test at a clinic in my situation.
I’m just trying to figure out my safest next steps. I’m feeling really overwhelmed and would genuinely appreciate any advice or reliable resources.
