reader, anonymous, writes (6 April 2010): Given that none of us are doctors, you can't take anything on here too seriously. Bleeding is usually not a sign of pregnancy, or at least of a healthy pregnancy. It seems that perhaps your body is flushing out all of the lining and blood in an attempt to remove any potential fertilized egg. The morning after pill is essentially an abortion pill, except much earlier. Instead of flushing out a fertilized and implanted egg, causing a miscarriage like the abortion pill; the morning after pill flushes out all of the lining of the uterus so that if an egg becomes fertilized it will not be able to implant.
You are being smart by seeing a doctor. An ectopic pregnancy is usually flished out by the body, but if it progresses it can be fatal to the mother. Did you ask your doctor about that? That is probably not the case, but again, Im not a doctor. Unless the bleeding gets much worse, keeps going for too much longer, or if there is suddendly pain you will are most likely going to be fine. Keep in touch with your doctor though.
