Q: 

Delayed 2nd period after taking the Morning After Pill?? (Plan B)

In freak out mode at the moment..which of course doesnt help the situation!!!
Is it common for your 2nd period to be delayed after take the MAP?? Or could I be in fact pregnant.... stupid I know but Im too scared to take a test. I'm currently 4 days late for my 2nd period. Ok a little background:

My cycle length is 31 days (consistent for the past 4 or 5 months prior to this)
CD 1 - (Nov 6 - 10th) - normal period
CD 8 - unprotected sex (ejaculate inside)

CD 10 - unprotected sex (no ejaculation inside - entered for about a minute or 2) - Long story but its this encounter that Im worried about!
CD 11 - Took Plan B...pretty much 24hrs on the dot!
CD 15 - Started spotting (very light, usually only when I wiped - this continued on for 10days). Felt nauesous pretty much this whole time.
CD 19 - Pregnancy Test - negative (obviously too early to tell. Only 9 -11 days after)
CD 26 - no spotting
CD 27 - no spotting
CD 28 - 1st day of heavy flow (so by usual cycle I was 3 days early)
CD 29 - Heavy Flow
CD 30 - Medium
CD 31 - Light
CD 32 - Light

From memory my period was relatively the same as usual, maybe not as painful, but so obviously then I thought I was in the clear!!

I am now currently waiting for my 2nd period to arrive. Its now CD35 which technically makes me 4 days late. I have had sore boobs for the past 3 days but dont really feel like my period is coming...maybe a few cramps here and there.
I have started to feel nauesous today, but that could be from anxiety!!

I know simple answer...go take a pregnancy test!!! So stupid but Im too scared. So do you think its possible I could be pregnant or is common for your 2nd period to be delayed after MAP? Thanks for any advice.

Hello Anonymous

Postinor 2 is an emergency contraceptive and not birth control. It will not help regulate your period.

The spotting and bleeding are proof that you are not pregnant.

Hi Maryann,

I am 8 days late. In July I took plan b 2 times, my cycle came a day early in aug and was normal.
I had unprotected intercourse on aug 16 and most likely ovulating a few days after that. No emergency contraceptive was taken. I've taken 3 pregnancy tests, all negative. Could the pills from July be the cause of this delayed period? Could I still be pregnant with negative tests?

Than you!!!!!

Hello Anonymous,

Did you take the ipill because your period was late?

The pill can cause your next period to start earlier or later than expected.

If you miss a period this month, please call your gynecologist.

I am not sure why you took the pill and you may have upset your hormones.

Hello Anonymous,

Stress is most likely the reason your period is late this month.

Try your best to relax, You did not become pregnant, having vaginal bleeding and negative pregnancy test results proved that.
