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.

so i had unprotected sex the day after my period was over and my bf came inside me. i took plan b onestep within the recommended 72 hours. a week later i had light to medium bleeding for about 4-5 days. i did not have my period on the expected date but about 2 weeks late i had light bleeding, then heavy bleeding, then light bleeding again for three days. is that my period? or is it something else? i'm very concerned, my breasts are also tender now, i find it harder to breathe, and i've had pain on my sides between my ribs and pelvic bone, and i've been urinating more frequently like 4-6 times a day. could this just be the pills causing this?

Hi Anonymous,
Bleeding is an indication you are not pregnant. Symptoms you are experiencing may be anxiety, or something else. If you are concerned, call your doctor's office and ask them what they think and what they suggest.
For more information, please review this article about what to expect when taking emergency contraception like PlanB: Emergency Contraception Update, 2010.

What do you mean "tests came out negative"? Did the nurse explain the results to you? If not, you may want to call their office and ask. You also can ask at that time about your period, and what they suggest.

Hi Jas,
Taking emergency contraception like you did can mess up your menstrual cycle, so it may not come when you expect it.

i took plan b a day after i had unprotected sex last month which was 3 days after my period ended and 5 days later i started spotting for 5 days. 2 weeks later, I took the pregnancy test and it was negative. now it has been a month already since i have my last period. is it possible that i'm skipping a month?

It's possible that you're skipping a month, but you may also want to take another home pregnancy test to verify that.
