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.

Had unprotected sex very early on day 9 of cycle (March 29th). Was not for more than 1 minute, and he didn't even come close to ejaculating before he pulled out. He claimed there wasn't even any pre cum, but I feel like an idiot for not using a condom! I took a generic form of plan b 15 hours later. 8 days later I had spotting for 5 days, which I thought might have been my period. Then on April 18th, I got a heavier bleed that also lasted 5 days, which would have been the time my period would have started. It felt like a period and seemed 100% normal, and I don't feel pregnant but have been scared about the possibility of having "period like bleeding" but still being pregnant - as I've read stories and comments of this happening to some women. I took a hpt on April 18th and it came out completely negative. I think I'm just being paranoid but I don't know if I can completely rule out pregnancy yet! (sorry if this is a repost, I wasn't sure if my first one posted!)

Hi Susan,
I had semi unprotected sex on thursday april 10th during my period in which I continued to bleed through the remainder of the day. This was the 5th day of my period, so I was on the tail end. The next day, friday april 11th, out of concern, I took Plan B. I experienced heavy withdrawal period the 15th, 16th, and 17th only. I think I may have experienced ovulation but I am not 100% sure. With that being said, should I expect my regular 28 day period around May 3rd or should I count from the first day of withdrawal bleeding? Chances of preg? Thank you!!

By semi unprotected I mean, there was a condom used but breaking was in question.

Please, please help me! On March 18th (around 1pm at the earliest) my boyfriend and I were messing around...I had gotten my period on March 15th so I was still on it at the time. We didn't really have...full-on sex. He rubbed his part on mine and there was some precum and he did put the tip in several times.. We were curious what it would feel like. Neither of us knew that precum might be...a bit of a concern. He touched himself a bit and then fingered me... I got really paranoid later that night while reflecting upon my actions. I then did research and got really scared that I might become pregnant. So on March 20th I took Plan B One Step around 10am. I know (now) that you only have 72 hrs to take it for it to be effective. I didn't take it till around 40-45 hrs after... After taking the pill, my period stopped the next day or so I think (so I had it from the 15th to the 21st). Then on March 24th I started spotting and had brown, black, and red blood until March 28th. It wasn't as heavy as my normal period or the same color. Could this be implantation bleeding? I've also been very tired/sleepy. Could I be pregnant? Please please help me...Please

I had unprotected sex the day after my period ended. I took plan B the next afternoon. A week later I started bleeding like I was on my period, but it only lasted 3 days. The first day was very heavy though. Is there a chance that it could be spotting and I'm pregnant?

I had unprotected sex on the last day of my period. My bf did not ejaculate in me but for safety precautions I took plan b one step 12-13 hours later. I quit bleeding the day after sex which it being so close to the end of my cycle I was not to worried about stopping. About 4 days after taking the pill I experienced some light bleeding and the blood is bright red. I'm having normal pms pains but still worried. Should I be or is this normal?

My last period was October 23-26. I had unprotected sex on November 12, he came inside me, and so I took plan b the next morning. 6 days later, I experienced light bleeding that was light pink/brown and lasted for three days (11/18-11/21). Was that my period or could I be pregnant? Next month's Period is supposed to come around December 12th.

Hi I had sex on November 16th and the condom broke. A few hours later I took plan b. On November 18th that Monday my period came (mind you that it was supposed to come on or around that day as scheduled) my period was really heavy and lasted a few days longer than it usually does. But I heard that is a cmmon side effect of plan b. Am I okay ?

Hello,

I took plan b and got my period the next week and then the next week I unexpectedly had to take plan b again and got my period again within that week (periods were two weeks apart). I know that it is really bad to take plan b so close together but after that I have had a really bad acne flare up (read that this is normal with plan b?) and this may be unrelated but my lower stomach feels really bloated. Is this all kinda normal for taking plan b so close together?
