Is it normal to miss a period after taking plan b?

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've read through many of these posts and think I have the reassurance I'm looking for, but here's my story.

I've never had sex, just had close contact once and an ejaculation mishap once.

Nov 14- plan b after my boyfriend touched his penis too close to my vagina. I may have overreacted, but took plan b.
Nov 22- took plan b again, though I don't think there was any real risk I was just scared. Had light spotting for a few days which I heard is normal.
Dec 2- I was naked performing oral, my boyfriend came on my chest without warning, I immediately covered my vagina with a towel and showered immediately. Took plan b within 30 minutes.

My period came on the 8th when expected, but now on January 17, I've had all other symptoms of PMS and getting my period other than bleeding. I know I wasn't being very smart and I need to start birth control to avoid this in the future, and maybe I've totally overthought all of this because the risks we took were small, but I just need some clarity before I take a test.

my boyfriend and I had protected sex, then the next day we where in the beginning of unprotected sex (he only penetrated my about 7 times) but then he put on a condom, we where worried that he had sperm left over from the day before so i took plan B on November 23 and got my period december 3, and it's now january 10 and i haven't gotten my period yet. Does this mean im pregnant?

lm sure that your bf used the bathroom from the time that you had sex the previous day until the time that you were having unprotected sex. By him using the bathroom, he is flushing out all that could have been left over from his previous ejaculation. There really wasnt a need for you to even take plan b seeing as he never ejaculated in YOU, but i guess keeping all your bases covered was a smart idea, because precum is a cause of pregnancy as well. As for you period being late, plan b is a HUGE amount of hormones and because of that can put your cycle ALL out of wack. I'm almost a thousand percent sure but that you're not pregnant, but the best way to know is to test.

My boyfriend and I were in the middle of having sex as I felt he was about to penetrate me I moved him over. He did use a condom but when I sat down in the bed I saw his penis was taking out some kind of clear discharge. I freaked out and I took the plan b pill on nov. 8. Las month I got my period on oct. 23. Now this November I didn't get my period. its December 6 and I still haven't got my period yet. I did a pregnancy test on nov . 14 at plan parenthood and it was negative. on November 23 I did an EPT test at home and It came out negative. Please help me.

Hello!

I got off the pill earlier this year and haven't really had a regular cycle. I got my period on April 3rd and had unprotected sex on the 13th, so took plan b first thing in the morning of the 14th. I experienced some bleeding a week later. I had unprotected sex again May 4th and haven't taken anything, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do and my period is probably late again but I don't know if it's because of plan b or stress? But do I have high chances now of being pregnant for having unprotected sex before my period came this month?

Hi, I really need help im so paronoid. I've been reading online that you can have periods while pregnant. I had unprotected sex then got plan b after 48 hours I then had my period on time 2 weeks later, it was a little lighter than usual. I then experiences spot bleeding last week. I have very sore breasts so I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. Is their a way I could be pregnant? my breasts are really sore and my period is late the second time

Hello Anonymous,

Some women can experience spotting, which is is very light bleeding, similar to what you may have at the very beginning or end of your period, during pregnancy. Any bleeding during pregnancy must be reported to your doctor or midwife right away.
If you are doubting the negative test result, consult your health care provider and have a blood pregnancy test done.

Regards,

Hello Anonymous,

I don't know why you have not gotten your period yet. Pregnancy or a hormonal imbalance are two possible reasons. Since you have had two negative tests, I suggest you consult your gynecologist. Your physician may choose to do a blood pregnancy test or lab work to check your hormone levels. Better to get a professional evaluation instead of guessing and worrying.
