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.

Hello Anonymous,

Having vaginal bleeding after taking an emergency contraceptive means it was effective in preventing pregnancy. Most women get their next monthly period close to the expected date. However, some women start their next period earlier or later than normal.

I had sex with a condom on December 26th but i was scared so i took the pill anyways but then i started bleeding on the 31st so i was scared & i didnt stop bleeding until the 5th of January & my period is supposed to come in 5-7 days so is it still gonna come on time or would the bleeding that recently occurred be my period?

Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for your question. Some women experience changes in their menstrual cycle after taking Plan B. Their periods start earlier or later than normal. The flow can be lighter or heavier than normal.

Depending on the length of your menstrual cycle, count forward the cycle length beginning with the last day of bleeding after taking Plan B.

Regards,
Maryann

Had sex back in October, the condom broke to to be safe I took the plan B pill the very next morning. A couple days later I got my period, on October 17, which was early. I got my period again October 30th, which was on time. Since then I have had protected sex twice, once the condom broke but we were just getting started, he had not ejaculated yet, so we replaced it and all seemed fine. I should have got my period a week ago. Is it late just because of the plan B pill? Or should I be worried

I had unprotected sex last Saturday night while on the last day of my period and he came inside me. I took plan b on Monday. A few days later I have been having bleeding again in very small clumps. Could I be pregnant?

Hi! My periods ended on the 15th of nov. Had sex, where condom broke, on 19th nov, 11pm. Took ECP on 20th nov, 10 am. Within 12 hrs. Now after exact 5 days of taking the pill, that is 25th nov.. I had light, dark brown spotting at night which turned into red bleeding by the morning. The flow and color is almost like my usual period. It however stopped at the night of 27th but started again on 28th nov, that is today! Its still bleeding! My question is.. Is that normal? Should i consider it as my period coming 2 or 3 weeks early, or is it 'withdrawal' bleeding? if its the latter, when should i expect my usual period? And if not then when to expect my period next month? Also do u mind explain what is withdrawal bleeding and what causes it?
Hope to get a quick response! Would be ever grateful!
