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.

Please help! I had my last period on June 12th, 2013. My cycles is about 28 days which meant I should have been due on or around the 9th of July. I had unprotected sex early morning hours of June 16th (last real day of my period). I took plan b on the 17th (about 30 hours after the act). I experienced 3 full days of heavy bleeding from the 21st to the 23rd of June.

I had unprotected sex again on July 7th, 2 days before my period. I took plan b on July 8th (about 36 hours after the act). It is almost a week past my period due date and nothing has happened. Could I be pregnant? Or could my hormones simply be screwed from taking it twice in close proximity?

Thank you so much for your help. I am freaking out!

I had an incident on June 17 with my bf. We used protection once and the pull out method the second time. I took plan b within 12 hrs and had bleeding 5 days later. My last period had been may 30 so this bleeding was early. My cycle is every 35 days. I told my bf no more intercourse until I get on BC. On Saturday night he came over and became aggressive I was able to get him to stop after about 5 minutes and he did not ejaculate. Should I be concerned about this last incident? When will I get my next period? Going by the last "real" period of may 30 I should be due around July 3 but should I expect it then or later because of the bleeding on June 21? Please help I am worried.

Hello. Ok. So I have a complicated story.
I was dumped by my bf of five years on April 14th on my period. The break up stressed out me so much I did not get my period on time in May until the 29th. Now I was on the pill but stopped after I was dumped. On May 31 I had sex with a boy while on my period really drunk. I checked my ovulation date and that is the perfect time for my ovulation. I took Plan B the next day and the following day after that I started birth control again. About a month later now I had experienced for three days light spotting with a brown color. I didn't need a tampon or anything. Just wanted to know if my body if really screwed up and needs time to get on a correct cycle or if its concern for pregnancy. Thanks so much.

I had an incident on may 26 early morning around 6am...about 13 or 14 hrs later I took plan b. my period was regularly schedule for June 13 and on June 12 I had very very light brown blood. Not until the 13 did I need a tampon. My
Period was not as heavy as usual the first day but I needed Bout 3-4 tamposn that day. Day 2 was extremely light not filling a single tampon and by day 3 it was even lighter.
My periods are usually always atleast 5 days in length and quite heavy.
Was that my period or is there a chance I am pregnant!? I'm freaking out and have read so much about implantation bleeding that I have no clue what's going on. But I do know plan b changes your cycle and could make your periods very very light. The colour often blood has mostly been brown, with a couple clots and sometimes the tampon has a bit of bright red blood.
Help! Any feedback is appreciated. This is brand new to me as I have never had sex with men

Hi,

I had my period on May 6th and have had sex several times since then, every time using a condom. However my bf and I had sex on May 20th and because we were really drunk and weren't sure about how safe we had been, I took Plan B the next morning, the 21st. On the 26th I started bleeding, heavier than spotting but lighter than my period usually is and it only lasted 2-3 days versus 4 days. I am wondering if this bleeding is spotting from Plan B and wasn't my period or if Plan B had caused my period to come earlier and this was indeed my period. Should I be expecting my period in the next couple days or was that my period? Could it be possible that that bleeding was implantation bleeding from being pregnant from a different sexual encounter? Secondly, I had severe cramps when I was traveling on a plane on May 30th, quite severe cramps. Does this mean anything?

Hi,

The bleeding which you experienced on May 26 was your period. Plan B can cause changes in the menstrual cycle. Some women will start their periods earlier or later than normal. Menstrual flow might be lighter or heavier than normal.

This was definitely not implantation bleeding. Your period for June should be on or close to the normal due date.

The severe cramps that you experienced on May 30 could be anything from abdominal bloating to intestinal upset from something you ate.

Hi Susan! How are you?
Here is my situation, what do you think?
My last period was march 13, 2013 then on march 23 I had unprotected sex, the next morning I took the plan b pill(the first one), but never took the second one, I guess it was a last minute change of heart. On the 11 of this month (April) I got very light bleeding, kinda pinkish, a little red and then brown, very light cramping. It only lasted two days. My period was due on the 10th, I am pretty exact most of the time. I tested today but it said negative. I have been feeling nauseated off and on and I've had stuffy headaches for at least 5 days. Has this ever happened to anyone. Is there a possibility that I may be prego. Any comments? Is this normal for plan B, even if it was only half a dose or could it have been implantation bleeding?? Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Good

Hi Susan,
I had unprotected sex with my bf on march 22. On march 23 I took plan b. I began what I thought was my period on April 2 and it ended April 5. It was a light cycle with minimal cramping. I noticed afterwards my breasts were sore and I just wasn't myself stressed out thinking I may be pregnant. The soreness is still present. Today April 16 I started bleeding with severe period symptoms but no heavy bleeding until I urinate. Am I starting my period again so soon. My period usually begins around the 10th of the month
