plan b and late period (Page 2)

I had sex on October 28 and the condom broke. My boyfriend and I did not realize it had broken until it was too late. we immediately went to the drug store and got plan b. I took the first pill right away and set the alarm on my cell phone for 4 am which was 12 hours later. Unfortunately my phone froze around 3:30am and I woke up at 5:15. I took the second pill right away then. Its now November 26 and I haven't gotten my period yet. I was supposed to get it on the weekend of November 13. I'm just wondering if taking the 2nd pill 13 hours later opposed to 12 hours would really have an effect on the pill? I took a pregnancy test on tuesday and it was negative, I will probably take another one today or tomorrow to make sure. I had spotting for a few days after I took the pill also. I've had the flu all week also.

okay so, the first day of my period started oct 26th, my period is usually short so by oct 30th i was done, i had unprotected sex with my ex boyfriend, he finished in me, and the few times that has happened we would buy the plan b and i would get my period at the end of the month as usual.but this time it was toolate to buy the pill, so i bought it the 31st, they didnt have the plan b i would usually buy, instead they gave me Next Choice, the generic version of plan b. well its already the 30th and im 4 days late. what are my chances of being pregnant?

Hi, I am also very worried. You lady's here seem to be good support. I had sex for the first time on day 20 of my cycle. My partner and I used a condom. It didn't break or slip, but I was still worried. I took Plan B or (Next Choice) 4 hours afterwards. Then a week later or two days before my period, I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I'm supposed to get my period tomorrow, but I'm not experiencing any of my usual symptoms for my period.
I'm really worried, and don't know if I should be or not.
Please Help.

I am on the same boat as you! Except, I am two days late.... I am freaking out... let me know if you are...

I had partial unprotected sex two days after my period and took plan B the next morning just in case. I got what I believed was my period again a week later, however plan b states that you should still get your regular period on time,I am now 4 days late of my regular period, should I be worried?

Hey guys..
well theres a lot of stories and not too much advice but i might as well throw mine in too..
ok. i got my period on oct 24. i ended about the 28th. i took the pill, within an hour, on nov 1st. it was plan b one step. i have taken regular plan b before, but one step was new to me (plan b one step: instead of taking a first pill and a second 12 hours later, it is only one pill)
i got what i thought was a period on nov 4th.. just a few days after my original period. now it is december 7th. still no period. ive taken 3 pregnancy tests and theyve all come out negative.. even the one today. they arent the cheap tests but i'm still if-y about them.. i am sooo worried. just like all of you. at least its good to know that you are not the only ones!

tip: look for places that give out free preg. tests! theres a lot of them i just went to one today

good luck to everyone

i took plan b on october 20th-i got my period not long after that-so then i was due on november 30th/December 1st. Im now 14 days late. i did have sex the week of thanksgiving he pulled out. I took 5 tests all say negative. Do you think it is just due to the morning after pill i took in october?

I feel like we get a lot of incorrect advice about our cycles from sources like the web, tv, and even our gynos sometimes. We should remember that our bodies are filled with hormones that are doing crazy things all the time. If you normally get your period on the same day each month, well good for you! But that actually puts you in the minority of women whose periods fluxuate every month. Typically, you are on a 28 day cycle but the idea that on the 29th day, your period will arrive is one which has been falsely constructed. It actually is meant to arrive in the 7 day period AFTER the 28 day cycle. Also, in terms of the morning after pill, this is basically giving your body a huge dose of hormones. Your body (and your complicated, fragile cycle) will not surprisingly often react a bit bizarrely, arriving late or early. I have taken the morning after pill and gotten my period within 24 hours. I have also taken the pill and been 14 days late. Neither were due to pregnancy. If you continue to take pregnancy tests which come out false, there are tons of more likely reasons your period is late (ironically, often because of stress which could be from worrying about your period!). Other reasons are changes in schedule, fluxuations in weight, or changes in medication.

Just remember, ladies, our bodies are very delicate balances of hormones and timetables which are sensitive and responsive to everything else going on in our bodies as a way of healthy self-regulation. The idea of timetables are pretty much our own constructions. Just give your bodies a break and let them work out the kinks of the excess of hormones they get through the morning after pill.

If you would like to induce a period, however, I have had very good luck with parsley infusions 4 times a day and 1500 mg of Vit. C twice a day. The former will try and put your body into the right state so it can begin to menstruate. The Vitamin C can induce abortion, though, so be careful with this one. Also, remember that in order for your body to menstruate properly, it must have completed an entire ovulation cycle. If that happened late, than your menstruation will follow suite about two weeks later.

Consider all the options before jumping to the worse conclusion. If you are using condoms and emergency contraceptives when needed, and keeping on top of pregnancy tests, you should stop worrying and let Mother nature take her course.

Hope this helps

my last period came on november 10 & i had unprotected sex on november 21. literally 30 mins after the sex i took plan b. now it is december 16 and i am 6 days late. i am usually about a week late but i am still worried. i have all the signs that i usually get, just no bleeding. do you think the stress is holding it back? do you think i am okay? i am so so scared

i am now 29 days late guys!

I took Plan B and ended up getting my period relatively on time! But my next period didn't come for 34 days. My period does fluctuate a lot and the stress also probably caused this but still another concern is that when I did have my next period, my bleeding was pretty heavy, but only lasted about 3 days and my normal PMS symptoms were nonexistent. No breat tenderness or back pain. Any comments?

hey everyone,

okay so i am pretty much going through a tough situation right now. i took plan b 3 times in a span of a month and a half. i took it last about 5 days ago. my period is 6 weeks late! i have no spotting, but i have just 1 sign of pms (achy breasts) and this could mean pregnancy. im so confused. i took a pregnancy test 3 days ago and it said negative, but that was to test for the 2nd use of the plan b (and whether i was pregnant) not the third..(i had unprotected sex 5 days ago). oh and i took the plan b last within the 72 hr time frame.....im freaking out. can anyone help?

Just to ease some minds out there...

Trust me, I read every single forum imaginable about Plan B and a late/missed period. I have a very normal cycle and am also on birth control. However, in between prescriptions, I had not taken any bc for about 3 weeks. Thus, my bf and I were using a condom. Unfortunately, I had a mishap the first week in January, so took a Plan B One Step and was due for my period 2 days after that (January 6th). I had NO spotting, no side effects, no nothing after taking the pill. I started to freak out about 2 weeks later when my period was still not there (technically 10 days late).

I'm happy to report I received my period this morning (a total of 23 days after taking the pill and 20 days "late" for my cycle).

I'm not saying this is typical, but you are giving your body a HUGE dose of hormones that can throw off your cycle severely. Especially if you have had to use a Plan B more than once in a short time frame. I would advise that you speak with a doctor if you are concerned, but also be patient! Your period will come!

So my bf and i had sex on valentine's day (the last day of my period) and the condom broke. the next night i to plan b and five days later had a period. it's now march 16th and i still havent had a period. is this normal? help PLEASE!

I've taken plan b last month about 2 weeks before when I was supposed to get my period. It came as expected, and I had some spotting a few weeks after. But the next period was late for 2 weeks. I had pms symptoms here and there. I was worried sick, but it finally came by the end of the second week. So your cycle can definitely get messed up.

I recently started on a new pack of the pill on the 7th of this month. I take it to regulate my period. This past 20th, me and my boyfriend had sex without a condom(stupid) on the 20th. I took the plan b one step pill that Monday the 22 (within the 72 hours). I did not experience the spotting, bleeding, cramps, nausea or anything like that afterward. I am now four days into the active pills and I still haven't gotten my period. I usually get it about two days into the active pills. Is there any way this can be because of the Plan B pill? I've heard that it can make your period irregular, but I haven't heard any stories about people who were actually on the pill as it happened. Please let me know if this has happened to you too or if that may be the cause.

A month and a half ago my girlfriend and i had sex and the condom broke so she took plan b. She got her period on time, but then the following week she got her period again. During the past month we had protected sex but she is now a week late and very worried. Could she still be experiencing side effects of plan b because it clearly messed with her cycle.

For all the ladies out there still waiting I would like to let you know that I also took the plan b pill and had a little spoting about four days later. My actual period didn''t show up until 42 days after the spotting. You can add another 2 weeks to that to identify the amount of days from one period to the next. So hopefully this will bring a little peace to those still waiting. For me the wait was horrible and costly with all the negative pregnancy tests. Good Luck to all.

Hi! I could really use some help. So I''ve been on the pill for about 7 months. Last month, I took a couple of my pills late during one week. That Friday, the condom broke for my boyfriend and I, and I took plan B the next morning. I restarted a new pack of birthcontrol that sunday, the day after taking plan B. The next weekend, the condom broke again, but since I had been taking my pills on time the week before, I didn''t take plan B again. Now, 6 weeks after my last period and 4 weeks after taking plan b, I still haven''t got my period. I am currently on the week of ''sugar pills'' in my pack, and still haven''t gotten my period. Should I be worried? or does plan B just mess with your system? If I don''t get my period by the end of my ''sugar pills,'' I will take a pregnancy test. Help me!
