My LMP was Dec 9th and on Dec 12th (saturday)I had unprotected sex and took plan B. I took one pill that evening and I took the second pill late, i took it 15 hours later insetead of 12. In fear that the pill did not work I took another dose on Monday. I started to bleed exactly one week after taking the first pill on saturday Dec 19th, I've read that the bleeding could be "withdrawl" bleeding. Is it possible to ovulate again after having the withdrawl period?
My period is now late. I took 3 pregnancy tests this week and they all come back negative. Could it be that I will NOT get my period this month because I took 2 plan b pills in 3 days. I will also mention that I've been stressed out since having unprotected sex but I don't think i can relax until i get my period. Pleae help!!

Hi,

I took plan B less than 20 hours after my boyfriend ejaculated near my vagina. I'm still a virgin but he did finger me soon after he had finished, so to be safe I took the 2 pills the morning after. The day I took it, I was due for my period and now, 5 days later I still have not gotten my period. I have experienced some cramping, bloating and discharge but no spotting or bleeding. Is it possible that I could be pregnant or is this normal?

I'm getting pretty nervous can someone help :(
I had sex November 4th, the condom broke, and I took Plan B one step the next day. 4 days later I started bleeding even though my last period was Oct. 26th, so i was 2 weeks early. The bleed lasted 4 days and it was like my regular period except a little lighter. Its now December 4th and still no sign of my period. During the time between taking plan b and now, I had sex but we used protection and there were no accidents. I know plan b can cause bleeding, so when should I expect my next period :( and should i take a pregnancy test

Hello Anonymous,

Plan B prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation. By taking the pill, you preventing pregnancy but also upset the hormonal balance that regulates your menstrual cycle.

No need to take a pregnancy test right now. If your period does not start in the next week, consult your gynecologist who will have more knowledge about this than I do.

Regards,
Maryann

Thank you so much, Susan. Hopefully, it comes sooner than soon :( I think taking a pregnancy test will give me so much anxiety. I'm scared it'll give a positive result, I'm hoping it doesn't.

Hi there. I took Nordette as an ECP last November 24, 2014, 12 hours after having unprotected sex. Then on November 29, I took Nordette again because my boyfriend's condom broke and to be sure, I just took the ECP again minutes after having sex with my boyfriend.

I'm worried that I could be pregnant. My actual period is supposed to start this week or this weekend (my period comes every 5 weeks). I haven't had any spotting but I have lower abdominal cramps, fatigue, sometimes tender breasts and mood swings.

I'm wondering if the pills were still effective. I also want to know when do you think I will have my period? Should I get a pregnancy test or do I have a chance of being pregnant if in 2 weeks (by then, it'll be 3 weeks since I first took the ECP) I still do not have my period? I'm very worried that I might get pregnant and the pills will not work :( I will be so thankful for anyone who can give me answers. Thank you.

Hi

I didn't have sex but my partner cummed in me. We were going to have intercourse but his penis was abit inside me and accidentally cummed in me. I am a virgin. Immediately he wiped everything off and we quickly went to the pharmacy. I told the ECP one hour after everything happened. I didn't feel sick or vomit. I don't have any pregnancy symptoms. This happened on Tuesday. Now it's Sunday. My period was due on the 29th. Now it's the 30th and no sign. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I'm planning to go to the Drs to confirm if everything is fine, but yes I haven't had sex but he ejaculated in me and I'm definitely not doing that again. Please help me asap, thankyou

Hi,
I had sex with my bf a few days after my last month's period ended and the condom broke inside of me. He didn't come and I took the MyWay generic a half hour after. One week later I experienced some spotting. Mid cycle, I had sex again with him and this time he pulled out and came and we realized that the condom was broken. Again, I took the same EV and experienced bleeding about a week later that was minimal but 3 days long. I'm one week late now from when my period is normally due and really worried that I may get pregnant. I don't have any symptoms though except some bloating.

Hey love, don't worry hun!! my period ended about the same time as u and im in the same situation.. its now november 24... i have taken the test and it said negative and i will doing another test next week. Yea Plan B is a like a PUNCH OF HORMONES XD , heavy loaded with it and it will delay ur period. Doctors had said that it could even take up to 3 months... try not to stress so much about it or else you'll end up skipping the whole thing and delaying ur period.. keep ur mind busy =)
Just remember there are plenty of girls that had been through this before. So you are never alone!!!

I took a plan B pill after unprotected sex with my boyfriend and it was when my last period ended. I had spotting about a week after, then another week after that. Now my period is a week late, and I've had some cramping for a couple days now and I'm worried that something is seriously wrong with me. I've taken two pregnancy tests and they both came up negative though.
