Ok well I had unprotected sex on 15th August and the next day within 24 hours I took the morning after pill. Exactly a week later on the 22nd August I started bleeding and I had this for 2-3 days. I normally have my period within the first week of a month ( Dont know exact dates sorry) and I had my normal period at the beginning of auguest before the unprotected sex. Its now the 15th September and I havnt had my period again yet... Im getting seriously concerned. Ive taken 6 pregnancy tests all of which have come out negative, but for the last week to week and a half ive been getting minor cramps and aches and pains in my legs (which i normally have before i come on) but still have had no period!! Someone please help with my situation... Im so stressed about it, I cant eat, I cant sleep, its all i think about! Help Help Help!

I am soo terrified. I had sex with my boyfriend on May 7 and the condom came off inside of me. We got plan b and I took it within 7hrs. I got my period on May 14 and it lasted for 5 days and was very light compared to my normal flow. Today is not July 8 and still no period. I am soo worried. I have taken 3 hpt and they are all negative.. Help please!

Hi Anon,

It's common to have a change in period when having taken Plan B. However if you skipped June and have yet to get your period since May I would give it another week and if you still haven't had it on the 14th, then you should check in with your doctor. You're not pregnant if you have 3 negative HPT's but like I said, if you don't get it by the 14th call your doctor.

All the best,

Rosa

Hi,
Your period may be delayed by a week after using EC (some women experience a longer delay, but average is a week). There are many reasons that a period can be delayed, or even missed, and it is important to rule out certain factors. It would be a good idea to take a home pregnancy test (or go to your doctor) to rule out pregnancy at this point, as your period could be delayed due to pregnancy, excessive stress or other factors.

Sorry I could not offer the reassurance you were looking for, but I can offer information and support---the more information you know about your body now, the more options you have for the future. Please come back and tell us how you are doing!

Alright, this is all new to me. I really need help.
On January 2, my boyfriend and i had sex unprotected for the first time ever, i was quite literally shocked and scared. The next morning i took the morning after pill - this was my first ever time taking it. About 4 - 5 days later i started bleeding which lasted about 4 days, (i also got cramping, which i have never before experienced with a period). My period date is usually between the 19 - 23rd of the month, in December my period came as usual. Only, its now the 12th of February and there is no sign of a period. Im starting to really stress. I have taken a home pregnancy test, in which came back negative. But the stress is starting to take over me. i cant sleep at night, this is all i can think about, plus im not eating properly. Please help me, im terrified.
