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.

So a week ago, to the day (Sunday Feb. 5th, 2012 last week), my and my boyfriend has some fun, but he slipped into me for a split second. He came before he did but not inside of me: he came before he did that, and promptly went to the bathroom after to clean himself up. Just to make sure I was not not going to get pregnant, I went to the pharmacy and bought Plan B One-Step two and a half days after, since you are supposed to take it before three days after.

Now a week to that day, I suddenly started to bleed but only a small bit. I also add that tonight, we also had some fun but he did not slide his penis into me at all: he only used his fingers.

I've stil lbeen worrying now that I might be pregnant even though I took it, but bleeding is a common side effect to Plan B One-Step. Should I stop worrying and put my mind at ease?

I understand your concern. Unexpected vaginal bleeding can be scary. Some women do experience spotting after taking Plan B. Plan B contains Levonorgestrel, which is a synthetic progestin hormone.

The menstrual cycle is regulated by the balance of reproductive hormones, including estrogen and progesterone. Taking Plan B while you were finishing up your period probably upset your normal hormonal balance. 

Give yourself one month to restore your hormonal balance. If you continue to experience irregular vaginal bleeding, consult your physician.

Please consider using some form of birth control regularly instead of using emergency contraceptives, such as Plan B.

Hi there, so I had an "incident" there was no Cuming in me but I'm not too sure about precum I took NC 30hrs after 2nd pill 9 hrs later. I'm freaking out though, thinking this doesn't work especially if already ovulating. I totally lost track of my period but I get the feeling I'm ovulating. I keep reading and reading and it sounds like from other people experiences it doesn't work if already ovulating even though it clearly says it'll stop fertilize egg from reaching the womb. I'm so doubting this pill, starting to believe that those that give the pill credit for working was just because it wasn't even their time for conception. All I have is to sit here playing the waiting game for my period. Hope lucks on my side.

I supposed id prolly get my period on the 5th of sept or lasts wich would fall on the 26ish sence thats the normal menstal says me. Acording to my last mestral period before messing with the pill for the first time. I will be 19weeks! Friday December 16 . Every friday im a week more.
