Hi I had unprotected sex Dec 23, My last period was on Dec 16 - Dec 20.. I took nordette as an ecp on the 24th, 4 pillls at 1 pm and 4 pills after 12 hours, I experienced cramps the next few days and had bleeding on the 30th of December that ended on the 1st of January. the bleeding was just moderate. Can i be pregnant? I took a pregnancy test on January 6 and came back negative. I'm still worried

Hello and welcome to HCM,
According to your history, you had periods on Dec 16 and unprotected sex on Dec 23.
In a regular 28 day cycle, ovulation takes place 14 days prior to menstruation.
Thus, on Dec 23, the ovulation day is not near by so less chances of conception.
Sometimes ovulation is associated with cramping pain and mild menstrual flow.
The pain and slight flow that you have experienced could be due to ovulation.
A negative pregnancy test rules out pregnancy anyways.
Thanks and take care
