My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex
after a night of drinking. We realized
quickly. 7 hours later, we decided to pick
up Plan B and she took the two pills
according to the directions. She was not
using any birth control, obviously.
We had a few questions about how this
might affect her period cycle. Here is a
little timeline:
- Girlfriend has period March 22-25th or
so. Period just "ending" around the 26th
or so.
- Unprotected sex on March 27th ~2am
- Girlfriend takes two Plan B emergency
contraceptive pills on March 27th ~9am.
- Today is April 22nd, approximately 26
days after taking Plan B.
My girlfriend said she had no real side
effects aside from some spotting for 4-5
days after taking the Plan B pills.
She also said that her period cycle
normally moves "forward", but wasn't sure
how many days it usually moves as she
doesn't track it or anything.
At what time frame should we start
worrying about pregnancy and consider
getting a home pregnancy test or one at
the doctor's office?
She is approaching 4 weeks since her last
period, but keep in mind we had the
unprotected sex RIGHT after her last
period was ending...
Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.

With the timing and with taking the Plan B
- her risk of pregnancy is low.
Her period may very well be late. The Plan
B is a dose of hormones and is used to
delay ovulation. This can cause your
period to be delayed as well.
She can test when she thinks her period
may be due, around 4 weeks from her last
period. Pregnancy tests are accurate 10-14
days after conception.
