Answers:
A gynocologist IS a doctor.For reproductive health,if you dont have insurance,a Planned Parent Hood or teen clinic or neighborhood health clinic is the place to start.Price or cost will vary on your financial status.
If I were in your shoes, and you havent had a physical exam in a while - I would call and schedule one ASAP.The bleeding could be a side effect of the EC - it can stimulate a "false" period of sorts - it causes the uterus to cleanse itself - flushing the lining - cramps are also common.
The procedure is pretty common - height,weight,blood pressure.The pelvic exam is simple enough - you will place your feet in stirrups - take a deep breath and relax - and the doctor will first do a visual assessment of your pelvic area.And she/he will then insert a speculum in the the vagina, checking the cervix & again seeing if theres evidence of std's or other irregularities.A pap smear will be taken - thats like a long q tip and it takes 2 seconds - just relax.She will then do a manual exam,inserting 2 fingers into the vagina and take her other hand and feel your uterus and ovaries.
A manual breast exam will also be done at this time.
You should also take a few moments and discuss more effective,regular birth control options.
Instead of a morning after pill, why not a birth control pill since you're sexually active?
What if you're pregnant? Women can still have a 'period' when they're pregnant. Do you have a gyno?
Get yourself checked out asap.
Go to a gynecologist. They'll probably have take blood and have you urinate in a cup to make sure that you're not pregnant.
