My significant other and I had unprotected sex for 2 days, the 3rd day i wasn't sure if I was ready, on the 4th day I took a mornin-after-pill, but the box said I was supposed to take it within the first 3 days of unprotected sex. The next week I started having back aches, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, nausea. I started my period a week early... i was bleeding heavily for about 2 days and on the 3rd day, i'm spotting. I'm not sure if this is bleeding implantation or period. Please someone reply to me?

My charts say that I usually ovulate on cd13 but I haven't yet had a positive opk. is it possible I missed the lh surge - i missed the test on cd10 and on cd11 I got a faint line on the opk and since then - nothing :( what is going on with me?! I have bd'd every day since cycle day 6 and really want a bfp this cylce. should i have ovulated by now or at least gotten a positive opk? my cycles vary from 26-28 days.
