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.

Yes, it is normal. Emergency contraception side effect can include "breakthrough bleeding", which us just your body's reaction to the extra dose of hormones. Nothing harmful. Great choice to use EC, as this is exactly what it is intended for.

Hi, I'm kaykay and me and my boyfriend had sex w/ a condom on aug.11 and I finished my period on aug. 9 and it broke and he barely came in me. We pulled out quickly. I was scared so I took the next choice pill the day after. A week after taking the pill I had a "period" that was lighter than normal. I am expecting a period any day now. Is it possible I have my period a month from the second period or should I expect it at normal time?

Emergency contraception has the side effect of causing irregular periods for a cycle or two. The bleeding you experienced a week after taking the pill was most likely not your regular period, but breakthrough bleeding from the hormones. This is completely normal and not harmful. You should expect your next period this month, but please know it may start later than you expect!

It does not mean you are pregnant, because many women spot between periods. However, any time you have unprotected sex you risk pregnancy. So you could be pregnant, it's just that you wouldn't know just by whether you are spotting.

I took plan b july 27th or 28th? And Instead of when my period comes which would have been the 19th, on the 20th I began to spot, dark brown. Is this normal?

Ok so my friend wants help due to the following:

She was a virgin, fooled around on august 12th (Didn't really have sex, only the tip was possibly in, and neither her nor the guy she was fooling around with knew for sure if the tip was in or not). The guy said he was 90% confident it was NOT in...No ejeculation occured.

Either way, just to be safe she got the morning after pill 10 hours later, exactly as directed.

Got her "period" 4 days later - Aug 16th(one day full period, the remaining two days were spotting). This was unexpected, as she is pretty regular, and she would be expecting her period at the end of the month, or Sept 1, 2010.

She's wondering if she should expect her period a full cycle from the spotting she receieved due to plan B. Ie (Sep 16), or if her period should still come as usual on Sept 1?

Unfortunately, only time will tell. Plan B has the side effect of irregular cycles (for just a month, maybe two), and can cause a period to be early or late, and also cause some breakthrough bleeding.

She will probably have a period in the first two weeks of September, since she is regular. (I realize that is not very helpful information!). It is highly unlikely that the incident you described would lead to pregnancy.
