For those women filled with panic and anxiety about a late 2nd period after Plan B... You'll be okay! Deep breaths.
I took Plan B on August 30. Oddly, I really didn't feel the effects from it for about a week. Then the cramping, headaches and breast tenderness began. I did not have any bleeding until my period began September 13. It was 4 days (with moderate bleeding the 2nd and 3rd day), which is a normal period for me.
I usually have a 30 day cycle so I started looking for my next period around October 13. No sign of it. then a few days later I started getting little cramps (twinges and pulling sensations) and breast tenderness. What was weird was although these are PMS symptoms they felt "different" than normal. I have two children and early in both pregnancies I had cramps and breast tenderness that felt like this. My breasts did not just hurt on the sides like normal PMS, they hurt all over, had sharp pain here and there plus an aching. My cramps were little but strange, with a sharp pain here and there just on one side. I'm telling you, EXACTLY how I felt during early pregnancy before. A week passes with these symptoms, still no period. Logically, I know I should not be pregnant since I had a period the month before. Having had sex with my husband over the past month, there is always a risk even with contraception. Anyway, breasts are hurting more at this point and I am starting to let it get to me and worry. I went to these boards and people reported their 2nd periods being late, but not a lot about having PMS/pregnancy symptoms with it. I GOT MY 2ND PERIOD EXACTLY TWO WEEKS LATE. The night before my vagina started to ache a little bit. It kind of felt like I was wearing jeans that were too tight all day or something. Very strange and again something I felt with early pregnancy. Yes, my PMS symptoms mimiced pregnancy symptoms, probably because my body is still reeling from the large doses of hormones which is Plan B. I really didn't expect the 2nd period to be so intense, physically and emotionally! Sent my husband for a vasectomy last week ... It's what I asked for as my anniversary present (yay, 11 years)!
I hoped this helped cease someone's anxiety even a little bit. I know it's scary. Please feel free to ask me anything you need to.
