birth control / plan b period delay Posted: 02-07-08 00:05am
Ok so here it goes. My girlfriend and I
were having sex the other night and the
condom broke and I ejaculated inside her.
She is on birth control but just to be
safe we went and got Plan B and she took
it only 12 after "the accident". She was
two days away from starting her sugar
pills for her birth control. Well, she
started her sugar pills on the 27th of
January and its now Feb. 6th and she still
has not gotten her period. Is this
probably because of the Plan B? Is it
possible that she might miss this period
because she is back on her regular birth
control pills now? Whats the chance of her
being pregnant when she is on birth
control AND we took Plan B? Thanks .....

SHE DID NOT NEED PLAN B!!
PLAN B will cause a delay in her period,
although it can also cause an early period
too.
PLAN B IS NOT needed when a woman is on
regular birth control.
REGULAR BIRTH CONTROL is more effective
than PLAN B.

Carifairy is right. In the future, you
will not need to get Plan B if she is
taking her hormonal birth control every
day at the same time. Even using a condom
is unnecessary, for hormonal birth control
is 99% effective.
Plan B can cause her period to come early
or late due to the extra hormones she
receives because of it.
She is definitely not pregnant, so you
have nothing to worry about.
