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.

those are just possible symptoms. you dont necessarily have to get them. i dont experience any that i notice besides a little bit of nausea. i didnt get spotting or headaches or anything either. its normal. it could go any way.

PLEASE HELP!
So my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex for two days in a row. But he pulled out way before ejaculating. Both times we stopped way before being close to finishing. I was'nt worried until i heard that sperm can be in pre-ejaculation fluid and that made me scared. but i also saw that if he pees in between ejaculations that it should wash out any sperm left. I also took plan b onestep the night of the second time. so it was a day after the first time and a couple hours after the second. I am just really nervous and dont know what to believe about what the truth is. PLEASE HELP. should i worry at all?

Hi, Kim, and welcome to EmpowHer. Thanks for your question.

Most likely, since you were still on your period when you were having sex and the condom broke, you wouldn't have gotten pregnant anyway. But it can happen, so you did the right thing by taking Plan B. So don't freak out. You should be fine.

Side effects with Plan B can include (but not necessarily):
* Changes in your period
* Nausea
* Lower Abdominal Pain
* Fatigue
* Headache
* Dizziness
* Breast Tenderness

So if you feel any of those symptoms just know that it's a side effect, ok?

Ok, i took plan B about three weeks ago. And got my period a week or so later. It lasted the normal time it usually lasts. Now, two weeks later I am experiencing spotting whenever i wipe after using the bathroom. What can this mean?

Hi, Anon,

Plan B can cause some changes in your period; it is a hormonal medicine, which can affect different individuals in different ways. Are you on other birth control as well?

This is a pretty typical response to using emergency contraception. You can learn more about the side effects in this article. https://www.empowher.com/sex-amp-relationships/content/emergency-contraception-update-2011
