My boyfriend and I attempted to have sex and we used a condom but I changed my mind because I got nervous. I was so freaked out that I would become pregnant that I took the Plan B pill within the 72 hours. About a week and a half later I received what I considered to be a period and it lasted about four to five days. The length seemed normal to me because that's about how long a regular period lasted for me. It's been about a month since I had that period and I still haven't had my period. I'm extremely worried and I am wondering if I should take a pregnancy test. Help please? scared

did you have sex?
you said you got too nervous and changed your mind..so what that tells me is that you did not have sex.
...so why did you take plan b?

plan b is basically hormones like birth control pills, but plan b is taken within the 72hour mark from when you had sex to stop a pregnancy from happening.
the amount of hormones in the pill could be a reason why you have not gotten a period yet.

but again, if you did not have sex, no pregnancy would have occured in order for you to have taken plan b, therefore no your not pregnant and no you do not need to take a test.

if you had sex without a condom, there is always the possibility of pregnancy, and the only way plan b would have failed is if it was not taken within 72hours.
From the sounds of it, you didnt have sex and no your not pregnant.

go see your doctor and maybe consider getting on birth control if you are considering having sex with your boyfriend and are worried about getting pregnant.
