I took the "take action" pill, the generic form of plan b 2 days ago. I took it in the afternoon and that night I was hit with a CRAZY side effect. I had an extreme nightmare about my dad coming in to hit me ( he never has). I opened my eyes gasping for breath screaming and he was STILL there. I stared at him until he slowly vanished. I woke up that morning with back pain, tender breasts and now there swelling, headache, fatigue, and later in the day yesterday I had a low grade fever. I was so drowsy but now today fevers gone, still feel pain I don't feel abdominal pain I'm not bleeding.Never had nausea just loss of usual appetite. Should it be effecting my brain like that though??? I had my last period lil over 2 weeks ago. The fever sounds like an infection. I have one wart right next to my v that's never been there before so I'm terrified I have an sti. Fevers gone but someone tell me if you had dreams too I don't see anywhere that that's normal, if I do have an sti which one does it sound like should I get treatment ?

Thankyou so much. Called planned parenthood I have an apt. Luckily have the money for treatment. I didn't have a fever at the time of that dream it was definitely the pill. I also had high blood pressure yesterday Ik bc I was seeing spots flying around. My lips are redder too . If I do have herpes can I have sex with my husband without giving it to him way in the future? I'll take medicine for the rest of my life if I have to. Im done with sex. I'm so scared another blister will form. I'm almost positive it's herpes, discharge happening now.Praying it's not in my mouth. My lips are redder actually prettier that's a big pregnancy symptom also tho as u probly know
Questions: -if I get treated tomorrow will I have to go through the sore throat and seeing more blisters?
-I did oral with him, is it in my mouth too? There were no sores on his mouth. Or genital area but Ik that second one doesn't matter
-will I have to suffer from it forever? I know there's no cure for herpies. But is it likely I'll have blisters for the rest if my life I'm healthy with no problems but mild asthma.
-school starts in less than a week. If I get treated tomorrow will that knock it out fast enough for sores not to eventually form on my mouth?
If it's too much just do ur best you are an angel for replying to me I can't thank you enough

Answers
It doesn't surprise me. That is a large dose of hormones and it shocks your body.
You will have weird side effects and bleeding and your period will be late. I don't know why girls are so willing to stick this in their body. It is meant for emergencies like the condom broke or rape. It is not meant to be routine birth control. Its not as effective as routine birth control and it gives you all those side effects. Hormones do effect your brain. As for the wart, see your gynecologist. He is the only one can tell you what is going on. If you've been having unprotected sex I'd worry too about an std. And talk to him about birth control too.
A fever can cause vivid dreams. I would be more apt to say the fever caused it rather than the hormones but anything is possible. Emergency contraception is not nearly as reliable as regular, routine birth control and shouldnt be used in the place of birth control. It is a large blast of hormones and can have some nasty side effects (many being "pregnancy like" and anxiety provoking.) You need to have the wart checked out by a gynecologist, preferably, or you can have your primary care doc check it but most likely they will refer you to a Gynecologist for treatment anyway. Unprotected sex is risky not only for pregnancy but even more so for STDs. which birth control and emergency contraception do not protect against. If you are having casual sex, you should always insist on condoms even if you are on routine birth control. This is a scary event in your life, to be sure, but the only person who can diagnose you is your Dr.
It is no ones business but your own what you do in your sex life. We can only give you advice on how to protect yourself and from there it is up to you to decide what to do. Sorry that you received "attitude" from another poster who probably scared you rather than helping you. I hope this doesnt discourage you from asking questions in the future. You can feel free to post any questions you have to myself or Kaismama in the future if you want! We will try to give you the best advice we can but no one on here can diagnose a problem. We may be able to suggest possibilities but that is only educated "guesses".
Breast tenderness is very common after emergency contraception. Back pain could be a side effect or it could be caused from some kind of infection. Headaches and nausea can be a side effect or could also be from infection. Fever would also be from some kind of infection and fever can definitely cause vivid dreaming. I have not heard of emergency contraception or birth control pills causing vivid dreams but side effects can vary from person to person and I never say never but I am more inclined to think it was the fever (and perhaps a guilty conscience-our minds can do funny things to our bodies) I would definitely advise you to have the "wart" checked out by your gynecologist and you can also talk about a regular routine birth control method while you are there as well. I am not a doctor and so I cant diagnose, especially without seeing it but I was a nurse at a family planning clinic for a number of years and I have seen a lot of things like this.
It could be something as simple as a skin tag or an ingrown hair (either of which can be caused by friction from your underpants elastic) or it could be a genital wart (which is one of the more common STDs, and is caused by human papilloma virus. HPV infection spreads from one person to another through sexual contact involving the anus, mouth, or vagina. The virus can be spread, even if you do not see the warts. You may not even see warts for 6 weeks to 6 months after becoming infected. You may not notice them for years.
Not everyone who has come into contact with the HPV virus and genital warts will develop them.) and it is a possibility that it may be herpes, which is more of a blister than a wart but with fever, it is a possibility but an infected ingrown hair can cause fever and swollen lymph noses in the groin area too so you really need an examination by a Dr to determine the exact cause. I will attach a link for both genital warts and for herpes for you to read over.

It is possible, if you have an outbreak on your mouth to pass it through oral sex but it doesnt always happen. Having herpes doesnt mean you cant have sex again, it just means you may need to take special precautions to avoid the spread. Often you are given a medication like Valtrex to help suppress the virus. It doesnt "cure" it but it can suppress outbreaks. Some Drs have you use it daily to prevent outbreaks and others have you take it with the first symptoms. Red lips (either pair) do not indicate pregnancy or an outbreak although prior to an outbreak you may get a reddened area that feels itchy and tingly just before the blister forms. In a first pregnancy only, sometimes the vaginal lips and the cervix become dusky (not red but darker, more blue-ish) but this is not a definite pregnancy symptom. Seeing spots also doesnt mean that your blood pressure is high.
High blood pressure often has no symptoms at all but headache can be a symptom for some if their pressure is very high. Seeing sparkly spots in your vision can be caused by a lot of things so I wouldnt advise you use that as a symptom of high blood pressure. Dont freak out just yet. Wait until you are diagnosed. The herpes virus can lie dormant for a long time. Were you ever sexually active, without protection, with someone who had herpes that you know of? Wait and see what the Dr says before you worry. Stress can make outbreaks worse IF that is what it is. No one can say for sure without examining you! Best of luck! I hope for your sake it is nothing but irritation. Friction, irritation and other infections can cause skin abnormalities as well.
