I think that U would miss your period if you were pregnant but I think you ovulate before your period. It takes about 2-3 weeks before there is enough HcG in you urine to measureon a test if you are pregnant. A blood test quicker it is more reliable.







i wont take it because if i was pregnant it could cause a chemical abortion. i called the hospital and thats what they told me.
Um...no. It's just a high dose of birth control essentially. In fact, it says on it that if you're already pregnant, it won't do anything.
I believe you Dottie and you have my support





Oh wow. So not true. It prevents fertilization from happening.
Not that I can't believe it, but hospitals shouldn't be foisting their morals/opinions on you. Unless you asked, I suppose, but they shouldn't be handing out false info.





what a nasty hospital to tell you that!
Yeah, that is not true - it only prevents fertilization. It will not cause a chemical abortion.. They're probably thinking of RU-486, but the Plan B morning after pill is good to take within 3 days of in incident. I'd consider trying that to try to prevent fertilization (if it hasn't occured already) .....it's only $45 (in Chicago at least)
(just click to donate FREE food to those in need...REALLY!)
To answer the question, you could theoretically get pregnant and have a super light period this month...not really a period, but implantation into the uterine lining. So, to know for sure, you would have to check with next month's period. And I agree with what every one else has said about plan B. Go get it if you are still in the correct timeframe.
^ I thought implantation occurred during the 6-7th week of gestation...I could very well be wrong...but I thought that if pregnancy occurred within a few days of the period, it could still be a full period...and then the next period would either be extremely light OR non-existant.
So, at this point...she could still be preggers and still get a relatively normal period. Right?
But, everyone is correct about the Plan B pill. I took it once. It doesn't cause abortion (if you are preggers, it won't do anything)...but it does make you into a raging, hormonal mess. LOL The RU-486 is the chemical abortion pill. The hospital was either trying to prevent you from doing anything about conception or whoever you had on the phone misunderstood what you were asking.
If you are still within the time period, go get a Plan B. In IL, no one can refuse to fill the script for you.
Implantation occurs at days 7-10.
Well, then I was wrong. haahaa
I think it's a first!!!![]()
Heh days, weeks, not that much difference...just semantics really.![]()
Ok...then how come when I spotted (with both kids) at around the 7th week, I was told that it was probably just from implantation...
Or, is it slightly different for everyone?
I'm so confuzzled!!!![]()
Whether Plan B causes a chemical abortion depends on when you believe pregnancy begins. The medical community considers implantation to be the beginning, but the religious anti-abortion community insists that fertilization is the magic moment. The basis behind the medical opinion is the fact that most zygotes do not implant, so it would be pointless to consider every sterilization a "pregnancy" when no one ever knows about it and the woman's body is not affected.
The religious anti-abortion wackos, as we all know, have a very different agenda, so they spread the word that Plan B causes a "chemical abortion" because it prevents a zygote from implanting in the uterus. Indeed the zygote is flushed out of the body, but most people don't consider this to be abortion because it doesn't terminate an existing pregnancy.
OK, I fully admit I'm not a neonatologist or an embryologist and I've pulled out my handy dandy embryology book to double check my facts. Days 7-12 - the blastocyst is embedded more deeply in the uterine lining. Skipping ahead to week 6 - fetal sac can be detected on ultrasound. Week 7, fetal movements can be detected in ultrasound. If you can see a sac and movement, the thing is fully implanted and on its way. I can't find any good reason why you would spot around the 7th week other than " a lot of women spot in the first trimester". Sorry.
^^
I was told that you can have cramping and spotting at week 6 because the fetus is further implanting. "Digging in deeper"
Dunno the truth to it....just what I was told.



I took a morning after pill last month and it does not cause a "chemical abortion".The pill is just a stronger version of a birth control bill.If you are pregnant it wont have any affect on the baby at all.read the labels and booklet that comes with the pill.u can also call the number they provide.
wow, its scary that there are random nurses answering the phone misinforming people and giving them their religious stances!
It's de rigeur at Catholic hospitals. In fact a nurse at a Catholic hospital would be required to tell a patient the "chemical abortion" story regardless of whether she believed it, or risk losing her job.
Hmmm that's what the anti-Planned Parenthood, pro-abstinence fanatical protesters standing outside a Planned Parenthood clinic a few years ago told me too. But then again they were obviously biased. It is possible but I think in the instance of MOST pregnancies that occur before the pill is taken, most pregnancies would not be harmed.
On second thought...wondering if that could explain why I might have miscarried a few yrs ago. I had taken the morning after pill but then ended up pregnant anyway. Hmmm.
you can get a positive on a pregnancy test at as little as 6 days past ovulation. Since you don't know when that was, if you expect your period on the 9th, you can already get a reliable result on a home pregnancy testGet one of the early result ones.
