My bf and I had unprotected sex right atfer I just ended my period I took plan B pills and the next day I got my period again even though I just had it 3 days earlier. But now I still haven't gotten my period. Is it possible that I'm just late?

Can anyone please help me? I'm thinking I'm just going to get my period really late. Or is it possible that I am pregnant? Answers asap please.

Atidalpus,

The writer is correct. Plan B has a known ability to change a woman's cycle. Some women have a cycle right after they take Plan B; others have seemingly two cycles in the same month; others skip a cycle. It is different in many women.

Don't worry. Your cycle will readjust yourself and I would expect that the next one will come about a month after this early one finished.

Here's a page of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Plan B:

Does that help?

same thing happened to me as well, I had sex took plan B and had my period aroud 5 days later, Then my period was 2 weeks late. It was the first time I took plan B so I am not sure, but apperantly it really can mess up your cycle. Just wait couple weeks then make a home test. Hope this helps

Hi Anon - Have you taken a home pregnancy test yet? Most of them are very accurate once you are a few days late. They test for the HCG hormone, which is present in your body only when you are pregnant.
Sometimes stress can delay your period. You may want to wait and see if it comes in the next few days. Or you may want to go ahead and take a home pregnancy test to put your mind at ease.
Please come back and update us, and let us know if there's any more we can do to help.
Take good care,
Pat

Wow, I have felt the same way. I feel like I have gained at least 10 pounds since taking this pill and I am healthy with my eating and my lifestyle as well. It's been a little over a month now for me. I have to literally force myself to want to get out of bed. Please let me know if anything has changed in your body.
