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.

I am the one that orginally asked this question. I just wanted to let the girls that are freaking out know that I was not pregnant. The plan B just delayed my period and I mean I didn't get my period at all for 2 months. And then after I did finally get it it didn't regulate until after a few months. I am now on Birth Control and recommend that you all get on it and if you're not please use protection. You don't want to do something that you're not ready for and that could ultimately change yours and your partners lives! Please just be safe and smart.

My period ended feb 21st and then i had sex for the first time on feb 22nd. Im 19. We used a condom, but before he put one on i dont know if there was precum. He didnt go in before the he put on the condom. I took plan b a few days later because i got scared. I was supposed to get my period march 10th and i started bleeding then. When i would pee, a lot of blood would come out and it was normal red colored. This lasted for about 2 and a half days. I was only at home for those days and used a pad, but on the third day i haf to go out so i put a tampon in and it seemed to stop. Yesterday (march 13) there was no blood until at night i noticed when i whiped there was a brown color discharge on the toilet paper.Now (march 14th) its just brown and some times drips just a little when i pee. Are these things that could happen because of taking plan b? Could i be pregnant even though i started bleeding at my expected time just for a very short time?

Hello Anonymous,

Some women experience changes in their menstrual cycle after taking Plan B. This side effect can present as a period starting earlier or later than normal. Also, the menstrual flow, after taking the pill, can be lighter or heavier than normal.

You are not pregnant. The changes in your period are a result of taking Plan B.

Would a test 15 days after sex and 3 days since missed period give an accurate result???

Hello Anonymous,

To ensure that you are getting an accurate result it is best to wait until your period is late at least one week. The cells that form the placenta produce and secrete a hormone, hCG, which is commonly referred to as the "pregnancy hormone". Levels of hCG can be detected in urine about 12 to 14 days following conception.

Oh and to add its been 14 days past sex and 2 days after my missed period and I felt sick about 4 days after sex so I dont know if thats even possible but im so confused. I want to be on bc but have had terrible side effects on the last 2 which caused extreme nausea which I read plan b has the exact same hormone as my previous birthcontrols which had me sick for three weeks so maybe takeing plan b twice caused nausea again?????? Ive been nauseas on and for 4 months and this is getting old

I had unprotected sex and took the morning after pill on 2/19/13. The pill worked on 2/25/13 and I bled until 3/1/13. I came on again today 3/3/13 at 5pm and it was heavy and bright red, at 10 pm I went to restroom and it was light pink. I'm not due for my cycle until 3/14/13 so is all this normal?

So my periods been like a month late (not pregnant, just got off NuvaRing a few months ago, and my body's been wonky)
Me and my boyfriend had sex for the first time on Saturday. He pulled out, but I was still worried so I took Plan B on Sunday, and we had sex again that day, again he pulled out. Now, today (Monday) it seems that my period has started. I read that sometimes rough sex can cause bleeding, and Plan B will make your period even more late, but I'm having the cramping and other signs of my period, and I've been expecting it any day now.
I guess I just want to make sure this isn't a sign I could be pregnant.
