I took plan b on September 30 after having unprotected sex September 29. I am on a regular birth control and had been keeping track with it, I took plan b just in case because I was worried. My period was supposed to come December 5th and has not. I am wondering when it will come and do I still start my new pack of birth control as regularly planned for Monday the 8th even without getting my period or will this just delay it more?

Hi Anon,
Thank you for sharing your question. I am guessing that the symptoms that you are having are still from taking PlanB. The hormones are such a high dose and it could take 2-3 cycles to feel fully normal again.
At this point though, there's no better peace of mind then to call your doctor.
Pelvic pain could be the sign of a bacterial infection and in the event there is something else going on, you don't want to risk letting it go untreated.
Anon, will you call your doctor?
Best,

Hi again,
SO i got my period and it was quite heavy and lasted 4 days from Jan 2nd-Jan 6th. Since then however, I have random cramps and my breasts are still enlarged. I haven't had sex since December and am confused. I've been taking birth control normally everyday. I sometimes have pain in my pelvic areas too or vagina sides.

HI again,
December 24, 2014 - 7:26pmSo a few days after my spotting ended, I had unprotected sex and my boyfriend had ejaculated inside of me. I didn't take plan b this time because of all that I have read on the pill being enough protection and I have been taking it perfectly. A few days later I've been having a lot of discharge and my vagina has been quite itchy. I'm almost positive its a yeast infection and have been using a cream to soothe it. However, during all this and throughout the spotting I have had cramps and sore breasts. My next period isn't until January 5th

Hi Anon,
You can continue with the over the counter creams, if it doesn't relieve your symptoms within 1 week, then I would call the doctor.
If you suspect that you could be pregnant, you can take a home pregnancy test in early January just a few days before your period. Until then, you will just have to try and wait patiently.
Best,
Kristin

Hello Anon,
The brown discharge is most likely just old blood making its way out.

Hi,
So after I had gotten my full period two days later like I explained, it lasted from Sunday 12/7- Friday 12/12. I still occasionally had sore breasts and cramps for the days after, but today I woke up to brown discharge. Is this effects from the plan b or is this my period again? I've been taking my birth control normally throughout this all. I've had spotting before, last year on my first month of birth control, but this brown blood seemed a bit more.
