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.

There is no need to test for pregnancy, if that is your concern.

One side effect of taking Plan B is a change in your menstrual cycle. That means that your period may start earlier or later than normal. In your situation, with a history of irregular menstrual cycles, back-to-back periods were probably the result of taking Plan B.

You can have a heavier than normal menstrual flow because of taking Plan B.

If you are concerned about your irregular menstrual cycles, I suggest that you make an appointment with a gynecologist. Some women find that their menstrual cycles regulate once they begin taking oral contraceptives regularly.

I took the plan b pill on the 3rd day after intercourse. I got my period about 8-12 days before intercourse, then after taking the plan b pill i got my period again 6 days after taking the pill (8 days after intercourse). My period is very irregular, sometimes i dont get it for 5-9 months. But before intercourse i got my period 2 months in a row (1 period one month, another period the following month). My period currently is very heavy. Is this normal? Should i take a test?

I took the Plan B back in October 2011 and now it is Feb 2012 and my cycle (that used to be predictable) is no longer predictable. Long story short, I have an irregular cycle. When can I expect my cycle to go back to normal?

Hello again.

The bleeding stopped, and it's around the time of my period now (I was supposed to get it Feb. 18th, a Saturday). It's now Monday the 20th, and I do not have it.

Should I be worried about still being pregnant since I dont have my period? I read that taking Plan B can delay your period quite a bit or even skip it. What should I do?
