Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for reaching out to us with your concern of no vaginal bleeding after taking a generic form of Plan B.
Though it may not be easy, do try to be patient and wait at least two more weeks.
From what you have shared, the balance of hormones that regulates the menstrual cycle took a hit-you missed three pills, then took five and followed by a dose of an emergency contraceptive.
Birth control pills and an emergency contraceptive contain essentially the same synthetic or man-made hormone. The drop in levels caused by missing pills and the sudden increase cause by taking five pills and the pill could have reeked havoc with your body.
If you have any further concerns, please re-visit the free clinic where you got the pill.
