My partner's nipples feel different. Is she pregnant?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

There was unprotected sex, but ejaculation did not occur inside the vagina. An emergency contraceptive pill was taken within three hours. It is been 2 weeks with no bleeding. There is nipple tightness—could this indicate pregnancy?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

Hope your partner did not vomit the medicines. Her periods might come on their time. If she is overdue, that is, she has missed her periods, get a beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) test done to rule out pregnancy. The tightening of nipples might be due to hormonal imbalances or premenstrual tension.
