As you know, anytime you have unprotected sex, you can get pregnant. We cannot give odds, and given that you did take PlanB, it even is hard to say when your period would come. But taking it step-by-step as I said before, work from when you last had bleeding. It is not unheard of for your period to change now-and-again. Like I said before, it's always a good idea to track changes somehow so if problems arise, you can explain it to a doctor easily.

Hi Ashley_87,
November 26, 2010 - 7:53amOK...let's take this step-by-step to try and help you figure this out.
- You took PlanB, and sometime around the 17th of October and had bleeding a few days later (breakthrough bleeding, most likely).
- Then you had bleeding again in early November (could have been a light, short period--taking PlanB can mess up your menstrual cycle, so this is not completely unusual).
- You haven't had bleeding again yet.
- You may then be due for your next "regular" period sometime next week, depending on the length of this cycle.
- You have taken pregnancy tests that have turned up negative.
- You have not had sex this month.
Does all that sound about right? If it does, then try and remain calm. Wait until next week to see if you get your period. If you don't get your period, take another pregnancy test. Keep track on a sheet of paper or calendar any cramping, headaches, or other "menstrual cycle"-type symptoms you have. This is in case you don't get your period and tests continue to turn up negative--if you don't get your period for 90 days, a doctor will want to see you, and those symptoms you've been tracking will help them to pinpoint what could be going on.
In the meantime, here are a couple articles that may help explain what could be going on:

Let's keep your question here, so we don't get multiple answers going in multiple locations.
Take care, and let us know if you have any further questions.
