ok so i got my period feb 7th and it lasted until eb 12th, nothing went wrong it was al lgreat had sex on the 15th the condom broke, he did not finish but precu does cause pregnancy so on the 16th i took plan b about a week later, the 22nd i began to bleed but it wasnt like i had my period it was spotting and sme days itd be a little heavier then spotting but still nothing like my period this went on till about the 28th stopped for a day and i began to spot again on march 1st, then on march 6th the spotting stopped and it became what i thought could have sworn was my period however that only lasted for 2 days. the bleeding virtually stopped by saturday afternoon and hasnt come back and today is tuesday. so what im asking is since this is the week that i should be having my period and im not does this mean the plan b did not work? i took it within the first 24 hours so if i read it correctly it was 89% effective, and pregnant women usually dont bleed but since i dont have my period and it is the 11th im concerned..any information would be great, thank you!

PLAN B causes your next period to be later than usual.

THAT bleeding you had one week after plan b "COUNTS" as a period, and your next period would come based on THAT bleeding.

Plan B most likely worked for you since you have been bleeding (even if its not at the scheduled time of your period). Plan B can mess with your cycle and make your next period earlier or later. If you are still worried take a test, but I am pretty sure you sound safe.

Yeah, by this many days past the act of unprotected sex it'd almost definitely be accurate.
