Just want to also share my experience as I found this post to be a bit of reassurance to FINALLY come across someone with a similar situation to mine after hours of being trapped searching Google only causing me to worry more, I've wasted hours looking for comfort online for the last few months but it really just scared me more every time!!
I'll try and keep this short...
Basically I had an accident with a broken condom in October, took plan b about 9 hours after, I felt fine after it and then a week later I had a shorter lighter bleed (which I was confused was this my period or not... more stressing and Google searching!).
3 weeks after that bleed I had a heavy period, along with the worst cramps I ever experienced... But at least I was finally happy that I probably wasnt pregnant and that my month of panicking and stressing was over! I actually was a bit ill but think I managed to make myself sick from stress!! (but of course I kept freaking out that these were pregnant symptoms!)
I'm actually a pretty chill person before you all think I'm crazy but somehow I worked myself into a total panic over all this, maybe cause I only started having sex recently (I'm 21 btw, at uni and totally not Reay for a baby!). Also should add I did a home preg. test which was negative just before the proper period.
But that's not the end, about 2 weeks after this period, another condom disaster happened! But after all the plan b stress of the last time, really not wanting to upset my hormones even more, and knowing that it was well before ejaculation that we realised I didn't take it again and was pretty confident all was fine and I would get my usual next period. Fast forward a few days I'm now worrying a bit and wondering if I shouldve taken the plan b, but still pretty sure my period would come.
Come the day it was due, nothing. Still nothing 3 days later so I took a test, negative. Another 4 days it is now a week late I took another (got poundworld ones now, they're fab btw as they can cost £8 some places!) = negative. Right now I'm worried. Another week passes and still no period, a few more negative tests, back to my friend Google where I find stories of women claiming pregnancy tests didn't work on them, so now I'm panicking I'm one of these girls, maybe I should get a blood test? Another few days later my period is 18days late, my nipples are suddenly really painful to the touch, even a light tap hurts bad and my boobs are huge (never had this before at all) ... This pain lasts until my period is 3 weeks late. I'm convinced I must be pregnant, all these signs are so unusual and my period is never more than 2 days late!! So this morning I woke up, period officially 3 weeks and 2 days late, but my boobs seem to have calmed down, what does this mean? Decide I will book a doctors appt. this afternoon as I'm so worried :( went to the bathroom and I've never been so pleased to have stained underwear in my life!!!!!!! (along with the worst cramps I've ever had btw, it's now 1am and they've been horrendous all day and I've been taking painkillers)
WOW just saw how long this comment is. Oops.
To summarise, I think the pill threw my hormones all out of whack causing my super late period, sickness, tummy pains for weeks, and I'm gonna say the anxiety too ;) even though my first one after it came okat, the second was 3 weeks late.
