Spotting Period...am i pregnant? Posted: 04-16-08 10:54am
Me and my boyfriend have sex every now and
then and sometimes he doesn't wear a
condom he never cums inside of me, except
for once two weeks ago but about an hour
afterwards I took a plan-b pill and I've
also been taking birth control pretty
religiously for the last two years. I just
started my period, but it's not a heavy
flow like usual it's really weak mainly
just spotting. I'm just really scared that
I'm pregnant.

You aren't pregnant. You took plan b and
are on birth control + you have your
period.

I know but it's just a really weak period
and it scares me cause I've read on the
internet that if you have a spotting
period you could still be pregnant

Is this the time when your normal period
would come?
You are on birth control which is 99%
effective. Then you took plan b (more
hormones). This can cause your period to
have some weird issues.
If you still feel you are pregnant, take a
pregnancy test.

i was going to say the same thing.
This same situation happened to my best
friend, and i even told her what Ingi
said, there are alot more hormones in your
body now because you took plan B while
taking birth control, which is why your
period is lighter than normal, the extra
hormones kind of mess with your body a
little bit.
You take birth control religiously you
said, which means theres even less of a
chance of pregnancy, plus the plan b
terminates any pregnancy with in 72hours,
and you took yours an hour after. Your not
pregnant, just having a weird period issue
due to extra hormones in your body.

Plan B can cause weird weird periods.
It's not recommended that you take Plan B
while you are on birth control if you have
been taking your birth control on time.
You are 99% protected with birth control
pills, even if he cums inside of you every
time. 99% effective does not mean that 1
out of every 100 times you have sex it
doesn't work; it actually means that 1 out
of every 100 women over a full YEAR of
taking the pill fall pregnant. Your
chances of pregnancy are very very low.
Taking plan b ontop of birth control can
mess with your hormones, make you feel
sick, and do strange things to your
period. It's great you are doing your
best to stay protected though! I would
really not worry about pregnancy, but if
it would help to ease your mind you can
always buy a test.

Well you are doing the right things to
prevent one.
Taking birth control everyday religiously
helps that out alot.
There's nothing to be scared about, your
taking the right precautions so you dont
have a kid so young. And being extra
careful[taking plan b] definately would
have made it even more unlikely a
pregnancy would occur.

You can always insist (I would) on condoms
also! That will provide protection against
pregnancy and STDs.

I was always very scared about pregnancy
when I was on the shot, so my boyfriend
still always wore a condom. It made me
feel alot safer and i think it might make
you feel safer too.
