A member asked:
Had unprotected sex, took the morning after pill 3 hrs later. next day i'm bloating. does that mean my period is on its way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: The morning after pill is a progestin and bloating is one of the common side-effects of progestins as is fluid retention. Taken that soon after intercourse it should be 95% effective and you should see some bleeding soon. Now get in and get started on a more reliable contraceptive so you don't have to worry about this again. Be safe.
