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!!

Could really use some input...

So my boyfriend and I weren't even having sex, but he did ejaculate on the out side of me, so just incase I took plan b an hour after this happened. This all happened 13 days after my period, so I was about a week and a half away from starting again. A week after taking plan b, I started what I thought was my period, it lasted five days. I thought it was my period until I read that it could just be withdrawal bleeding. This happened about a week until my scheduled period. It has been a week since that bleeding and I am starting to feel very sick and my boobs hurt really bad. I was supposed to start my normal period 2 days ago but I haven't yet. Is there any way I could be pregnant? Or should i expect a later period?

I'm a tad bit worried. I am very adamant on keeping track of my periods,symptoms and fertility so i have an app that I mark them with. Typically my periods are anywhere from 21-23 days apart, well back on june 22 my bf and I had sex and we think the condom broke so I took plan b about 30 minutes afterwards just to be safe even though it was a safe week and I was not fertile no ovulating. Well last month my expected period was late and then to top it off i had a brownish/black discharge anywhere from the 15th to the 23rd (I dont remember the exact date) it ranged from light to heavy and smelled really bad with a LOT of clots. So I figured it was just a weird period. Well this month I get all my symptoms minus sore breasts (they are usually extremely sensitive and sore the week prior to my period). I've taken 4 pregnancy tests and they have all come out negative but I'm just not sure if they are right since my cycle is off. Is it possible that I am pregnant but am just have multiple negative tests?

Hi guys I want tell you my story with this terrible pill, I took plan b 25 minutes after unprotected sex (pulled out) but still just to be save, then I miss that months period and I waited and didn't get the next one, So that's two missed periods and all the test both blood and pee test were negative, went to the dr and I had cysts (had horrible cramps and never had a cyst before) and he said I wasn't ovulating right so I was giving something to start the period and now I'm in birth control which sucks so soon I'll hopefully have regular periods again. Girls plz be careful this pill is no joke, I have been stupid before with this but just tell the guys no or to put something on, aside from having a kid or abortions there's hiv and tons of other stds that really shouldn't be taken lightly. I took some vitamin c before the dr and I started getting some light bleeding I heard that can cause a period (don't use too much reed the bottle take 500mg or try to drink a lot of orange Joyce. Good luck to you lady's I know how it feels to worry yourself to sleep but honestly most of you aren't pregnant if all the test are coming back negative.

I had sex last month and the condom broke. To be safe I took plan b a day later and expierianced some light bleeding 4 days after. It was brown and all clots. I was fertile when I took the pill. Then when my period was due I got light pink bleeding that was nothing like my normal period. Now a month later, I am expieriancing pms symptoms a week and a half before my due period which never happens. Everything seems more severe and still no sign of myperiod but I'm very anxious. Am I pregnant?

I took plan b twice last month but in different weeks. I already got tested for a pregnancy test twice but came out negative. I'm getting a little bit worried because my period hasn't came at all this month. Can someone help me or explain to me what's going on?

Hello Anonymous,

I know this must be upsetting and confusing, but you need not be worried. Some women experience changes to their menstrual cycle after taking Plan B. This side effect can present as your period starting earlier or later than normal. Your flow can be lighter or heavier than normal.

Your menstrual cycle should return to normal by next month. Your period for June may come late.

Regards,
Maryann

On the 20th of May around 5 pmMy boyfriend and I had sex but when were having intercourse the condomn slipped into my vaginal area, even though he didn't ejaculate in me we still got the Plan B pill. The next day I took it on the 21st around 12 pm. I had sharp pains for a day and then five days later around the 25th I thought it was spotting but it could have been my period. and I am still having my period, but in the beginning it was bright red and now it is currently dark brown. I dont know if it recycling or if I am still spotting? and I am currently still bleeding but in my vagina it feels like a lot but it comes out a little bit when I am laying down. Should I be worried? He was going to ejaculate but does the precum affect anything even though we took the plan B pill 20 hours early in total.
