So about 5 1/2 weeks ago I had taken plan b because of the condom breaking and took it the next day. 5 days later I had what's called a break through bleed (heavy like a period) I waited to take a pregnancy test at home until I missed my next period. When my next period was 4 days late I had taken a at home pregnancy test and it came back negative! But still no period. I don't feel any pregnancy symptoms at all my body doesn't feel any different then before just no period for 5 1/2 weeks! Could this be because of plan b? Should I test again?

Ps: I had a uti and had to send in a urine sample would they be able to tell from the sample I'm pregnant or not

Hello Ashleyyy1424,

Welcome to EmpowHER.

No. The urine sample will be used to test for bacteria and not hCG.

The bleeding was proof the pill worked. Your next period might be delayed as a side effect.

Regards,
Maryann
