Q: Plan B - Is Late Period Normal, Anyone Experience That?

Hi all, I had my period on Aug 24, had an "accident" on Aug 27 (4th day of my period), worried, I took Plan B on Aug 28.

Today is Sep 20, I have cramps but no period. Its been more than 3 weeks since I took Plan B but I probably took it too early in my cycle. I should have gotten my period today (26day cycle); anyone experience a delay in period with Plan B? Should I wait for a few more days before purchasing pregnancy test?

You can never take Plan-B too early! You're supposed to take it as soon as possible.

Yes, it can cause late/odd periods. Take a pregnancy test if you are more than 5-6 weeks from your last period just to check.
