My bf and I had unprotected sex right atfer I just ended my period I took plan B pills and the next day I got my period again even though I just had it 3 days earlier. But now I still haven't gotten my period. Is it possible that I'm just late?

Can anyone please help me? I'm thinking I'm just going to get my period really late. Or is it possible that I am pregnant? Answers asap please.

Hi Andrew,
There is no way that your girlfriend could be pregnant if she had a heavy menstrual flow for two weeks. Back, stomach and breast pain are not symptoms of early pregnancy.

You both need to stop stressing over a possible pregnancy. I strongly suggest that your girlfriend schedules an appointment with her gynecologist or visit a women's health clinic to discuss and obtain some type of birth control. Any emergency contraceptive, such as Plan B, is effective in preventing an unwanted pregnancy, but is not intended to be used as a regular type of birth control.

Hello Anonymous,

Did your girlfriend take Next Choice within 72 hours of unprotected sex? If so, then a pregnancy was prevented and it is not likely that your girlfriend would be having a miscarriage. The long and very heavy flow was most likely a side effect of Next Choice.

If she continues to have symptoms, she should consult her physician. Anemia is a concern if the flow continues to be heavy and prolonged.

Hi, my name is andrew, my girl is having the same problem. Period on time but lasted about 2 weeks very heavy flow and bad cramps.. Is this normal for next choice? She had that period 2 weeks ago also on the ninth(weird that her normal day to) and now she is experiences back and stomach pains and a little bit of breast pain.. Is this normal? Ive also read that maybe the heavier flow was because she was having an early misscararage? Please reply asas i need help and need to ease my mind!...

But I'm probably over worried about this..should I take a test in 2 weeks from thursday? I really don't wanna be pregnant.
