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.

Hi,
I am in a similar situation as many people on this thread. I had my period August 4th- 8th and on the tenth at night I was fooling around with my boyfriend and he went inside for only about 15 seconds with no condom and then pulled out immeadietly. I got really worried so on the 12th in the morning I took Plan B. I had no side effects and since I have had sex a few more times but each time we used a condom with spermicide, he pulled out and we checked the condom for holes. Now today the 17th I woke up with very light red bleeding. The flow is very light and now it is more of a brownish color. It is not how my period is at all. Im not supposed to get my period again until spetember 4th and Yesterday was the beginning of my fertile period. I'm freaking out is the bleeding because of plan b? Or could it be implantation bleeding? I really can't be pregnant please help.

Had my period on jan 20 (4-5 days) had sex on jan 26 with #1 and took a plan b the next day. Got a period again jan 29 (3-4days) it was a little light. Then had sex on February 14 with #2 and took a plan b the same night. Didn't get a period after that or any bleeding. Then I found out I am pregnant and due nov 5th.

Please help

Hello Anonymous,

Because your hormonal balance that regulates your menstrual cycle was upset, it is hard to say when your next period will start. Plan B is responsible for causing you to have menstrual bleeding a second time in July.

I think it is more likely that your next period will begin closer to August 13. In the meantime, use birth control when having sexual intercourse and do not take an emergency contraceptive.

Hi there,
I have a dilemma. June 14 my boyfriend and I were fooling around, we did not have sex but he did end up rubbing his penis on me for a small amount of time. Is it possible I could get pregnant from this? Also should I take plan b just for a precaution? My period is suppose to start this weekend so I'm wondering if I should bother taking plan b or not. If I don't take it is there still a chance I can get pregnant? Please help I'm worried about what I should do.
Thanks.

Hi,
My boyfriend and I were fooling around the morning of June 14, there was no sex but he did rub his penis on me. I was wondering if I should bother taking plan b when my period is suppose to be due this weekend. Or if I should still take it? Do you think I'll become pregnant if I don't take it?

Hello Anonymous,

Plan B is most effective in preventing pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse. It is too late and I don't think you were ever at a high risk for becoming pregnant.

If your period is late beyond one week, then take a home pregnancy test.
