I have reflux and bloating several weeks after taking the morning after pill?
26-year-old woman
I took the morning after pill last month after my ovulation, I had a lot of reflux afterwards, nausea without vomiting and 2 weeks after taking Plan B I had bleeding for 1 day and then pink/brown spotting and then very pale brown liquid loss, my stomach is swollen and bloated for 5 days now, no problem going to the bathroom and no pain in my belly, I just look 3 months pregnant, I did 2 pregnancy tests to be sure, both negative
Could the morning after pill be the cause? Should I go for a consultation?

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!
Have you had your period since you received the morning-after pill? If not, what day is your period expected to start?

Two weeks after taking the pill, I had bleeding that lasted 1 day and light spotting afterwards, normally my period lasts 4-5 days

This day of bleeding 2 weeks after the morning after pill, was it the first day of the expected period?

Yes

Thanks for the clarification!
Hormonal fluctuations during the cycle could be at least partly to blame... That being said, since you took the emergency oral contraceptive several weeks ago and have been menstruating since then, it's unlikely that what you're experiencing is due to it..
The situation you describe usually goes away on its own. If it persists beyond your next period, I suggest you consult your doctor.
Sincerely
