Dear Mybabyadian
Thanks for your question and welcome to EmpowHer!
Firstly, your "period" right after taking plan B may have actually been the same period you just had. Sometimes our period can seem like it's over and then return a day or two later. It may also be a side effect of your Plan B pill. When did you take it - how many hours/days after unprotected sex?
If you are more than a few days late, you should take a pregnancy test. Plan B is quite effective but is not a guarantee - how late are you? And are you usually regular?

Thank you for your reply! But I just got my period yesterday:) but to answer your question, yes I am usually regualy every 28 days I would get it. And I took the pill less than 24 hours after I had sex. So I was a week late. Time for me to go on birth control. I cannot have another baby. I was thinking about Mirena. Is that a better idea ?
August 15, 2009 - 1:28amI had unprotected sex 2 days after my period got over.
July 2, 2010 - 1:31amI had an I-Pill 24 hours later and a week later I am experiencing vaginal bleeding again.
What does this mean? Is it possible to have your period a week after they get over? Did I concieve during sex and now safe?
Please please help!!!
It happened the same thing to me!! I got my period about 5 days after taking the pill but it's 2 weeks early.. Please someone reply if you guys know anything
January 13, 2011 - 12:27amThis is a known side-effect of taking emergency contraception. It is known to "mess up" your normal menstrual cycle. As long as you don't put yourself at further risk for unwanted pregnancy, you can just wait for your new normal period which (according to the article) may be different from what you usually expect, and likely can't be predicted.

Good luck!
I took Plan B 2 days after my period. 4 days later I got my period again. My period usually lasts 5 days but I am on my 7th. Is this normal?
February 8, 2012 - 9:02pmI had unprotected sex between 11-12 pm. Took the Next-Choice pill the following morning at 8 a.m. then the second pill at 8 p.m. Started my period the 12th of september. Usually start on the 13th of the month. It lasted normal, nothing unusual. Had unprotected sex again the 27th of september. Boyfriend wasnt 100% sure he pulled out quick enough so took the pill the following afternoon at 3p.m(within the first 24hrs) then the second one 3 a.m. (which was after the first 24 hrs). Started my period monday October 3rd. Had normal flow for the first two days, by wednesday it had become just spotting and lasted like that til the following monday October 10th. It is now the 14th of october, a day past when my normal period would have started and ive been having spottings since the 12th. Im concerned and scared to talk to my Dr. Please help!
October 14, 2011 - 2:53pmI have had many children who I all adore. It didn't take long for me to find out I was pregnant. I love your article. I hope you love my blog at www.thecribhub.com where we have a great crib sale.
November 2, 2011 - 11:20pmhow long did your "second" period last? i kinda have a similar situation..
August 23, 2009 - 7:53pmhi, im really concerned, i cant go to the doctors because my mum works there, and as soon as i book the app she will see it. i really need some help please.
my last period ended on the 31stJul 09, and then i had sex with my boyfriend i wasnt on any BC, but he was wearing a condom. just when he was about to cum the condom broke and wasnt quick enough to pull out, i got the whole load of it.
that next morning i went out and bought it with him and didnt end up taking it till the following day (13thAug 09). But on the 12th i bought a Ovulation test kit and tested myself 3 times that day all were positive to me ovulating. I'm really concerned because, we had sex whilst i was ovulating and didnt take plan b one step till 2 days later.
I didnt throw up from it, i think 2 days after taking it i had thrown up a tiny bit.
and ever since that date till now (9/9/09) i have been getting frequent cramps headaches, nausious, bad bloating like i was 5 months pregnant, frequient peeing, lower back pain, really badly fatigued
One thing i did notice was we have a pine fresh hand wash a month ago b4 taking the pill i loved it, i smelt it the other day and it almost made me throw up.
so to sum things up.
period ended 31st of jul
had sex and the condom broke 11th
took plan b 13th aug
had what i thought was a not normal period 2 weeks later 25th aug was very light not normal lasted 5 days.
then it ended 31st of aug.
then on the 2nd of SEP i took a pregnancy test straight after my period and it showed negative.
and i still had some ovulation tests left and i took some today and all of then were positive but one was weird and didnt show properly.
am i just worrying my self, or wearing my self thin, i cant go see a doctor, i realise im ment to be ovulating in a day or so cos of my 28 day cycle, im jsut super concerned and dont know if i should take a pregnancy test again or wait till my period in 2 weeks to coms to see if its late.
