Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Negative Pregnancy Test Results?

Am I pregnant? Okay so my boyfriend and I like i guess had sex? But it only last like a couple minutes and then we had to stop because we his mom would interrupt, so it wouldn t be long enough for him to cum but I read online about the pre cum and I m just worried. We had sex 3 times on both non fertile days and like I said before, wasn t long enough for him to cum, but I still asked just to be safe and he said he didnt. But I still wanted to sure I wouldn t get pregnant, so I took 1 birth control on 2nd day we had sex and I think a couple days later I took another one just to be safe. I took a pregnancy test (just one of them) and it came out negative. My period hasn t started yet, i have the app that tracks it and it should start on 22nd but I m just worried. Oh and no we didn t use a condom. But I m having pms signs, like sore breasts, my back kinda hurts. But it could asl be pregnancy signs too. Could I be pregnant?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As you of taken emergency contraceptive pill the possibility of pregnancy is less. Usually the effectiveness of emergency contraceptive pill depends on how early you take the pill after unprotected intercourse. It can give around 95% protection if you take the pill within 12 hrs. But as you have taken the pill on 2nd day you can have around 75% protection. As the emergency pill can alter the menstrual cycle because of high hormonal level in it, you may not get periods on exact date. That too as you have taken two tablets with short gap, it is difficult to predict the date of onset of periods. Usually after taking second tablet, withdrawal bleeding can be seen in around 7 to 10 days. So, you can wait till that time, if you do not get periods even after 10 days of second pill, better to repeat urine pregnancy test. And you should maintain at least two months gap between two emergency contraceptive pills to avoid hormonal imbalance and irregular periods in future.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
