Hey guys. So I've been on this site numerous times after taking plan b reading stories to console myself. My s/o and I had unprotected sex on April 7th and he came inside of me. The incident was around 12 am and I took plan b later that day around 8 am. One week later on the 14th i bled from taking the plan b. It lasted 5 days like my regular periods which are usually 5 - 7 days. My period wasn't due until the 24th however. I wasn't bothered much as i told myself it was the plan b working. My next period after the plan b bleed was due the 13th of May, 30 days later. The 13th arrived and my period did not come. This was now 5 weeks and one day after the unprotected sex, we used protection every day since then. I was a little worried so my s/o bought me a test which when used was negative. The 17th came, no period. The 21st came, no period. Then finally of the 24th of May my period came, almost 11 days late. I had taken two more tests before it came. The time before my period came i was worried sick I was so convinced I was pregnant and even tho my s/o assured me he would support our child 100% i am not ready for children and even tho i am pro-choice i would not have an abortion myself. I had many symptoms including: nausea, nipple soreness, lots of vaginal discharge, abdominal cramping and diarrhea. I am honestly usually not so careless and have learned my lesson. Before persons say you should just take regular birth control i have. It gave me severe pelvic pain and made sex very painful. It also caused my sex drive to be extremely low. It was almost 3 years since I had been sexually active and had never enjoyed sex, not once. Then i found out it was the birth control pills. I had lost my virginity and still felt like a virgin in some ways due to the problems the pill caused for me because i still didn't feel the joy of sex or have any urge to do it. My s/o stuck with me through it all however and would always reassure me and let me know i didn't have to do it so he could feel pleasure but i didn't want him to miss out on sex because of me and i also wanted to try to see if one day it would feel better and i would understand why people like it. I cried so many times cuz i would try and then it would be painful and we would stop and sleep. I felt sad because couldn't connect to him in that way. I even experienced pelvic pain just doing regular stuff around my house. I had all sorts of blood tests done for stds which were all negative, and a pelvic ultrasound as well but it turns out it was the bc pills all along. This is not to discourage people from taking bc as i believe people should. Just find the form that is good for you as things react with people differently.

Dear 21smiley,
Thank you for sharing your story with us. There are certainly many birth control options to choose from, and you are correct in that a woman must choose the form best for her. Everyone is different. I hope you are feeling better.
