Hello
Thanks for your query.
You could be experiencing pre menstrual symptoms.
Cramps and discharge could also be indicative of an ongoing pelvic infection.
The morning after pill could prepone or postpone your periods by a week or more.
If you fail to have a normal period 4 weeks after unprotected intercourse, please take a pregnancy test.
Take care.
