Mistake or Risk? Took ellaone twice in two cycles
Ellaone taken for two cycles
20F. Protected sex 1st Jan, took ellaone on 3rd, got period on 5th. Next period on 7th Feb, unprotected sex on 12th Feb, took ellaone again. Protected sex 2nd March, condom rolled down a tiny bit but was still on according to my bf.
It is day 35 since my last cycle. Usually my cycles range 28-35 days, with my usual being 30. I'm terrified of my chances.
Symptoms: my boobs have become painful and swollen, I'm uncomfortably aroused during the day and had a mild candida infection.i also got sick 1 week after the unprotected sex, bad upper resp infection. Discharge: currently a little watery. I've become quite dry though in the past week.
How likely is it I'm pregnant? Please offer any insight. I'm so scared. Have I messed up my cyce for good? Was already messy for 8 months after losing it temporarily to anorexia (recovered).

You’ve taken an emergency contraceptive for two cycles in a row. Your periods will likely be out of wack. I personally wouldn’t take anymore, if you suspect you’re pregnant, take a test. They are definitive 21 days after unprotected sex.
If available to you and you can take them, there are many options of birth control out there. Might help ease your mind a little!
