What Causes Abdominal Bloating After Taking Morning After Pill?

Hello, I took the morning after pill about two months ago. Since then I ve had two periods and negative pregnancy test results. However, now at two months after taking the pill, my stomach is really bloated and my breasts are tender. I was not this bloated at the beginning. It started at 7 weeks after the pill. Is this common?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I understand your concern. You say you took the pill two months ago, which is approximately 8 weeks ago and you refer that your symptoms started 7 weeks after taking the pill. That would be approximately one week ago. Given that you already had two periods and that the pregnancy test was negative, I would definitely exclude the possibility of pregnancy.
It is very likely though that you might be ovulating, which would explain the bloating and breast tenderness. However, if the symptoms persist, I recommend you see a doctor for further investigation.
Hoping this answers your question and wishing you all the best.
