am I pregnant after Plan b ?
Posted: 06-02-08 19:18pm

my last period was started on 30april. i had unprotected sex on 28may. during the intercouse, there was bleeding (even my bf just using his finger to rub ),when he using his dick to rub, even more blood coming out. i thought it was my period coming , but i found out afterwards, there are no more blood after the sex. this is not the first sex of me. I am worried am i pregnant, so i had the 1st tablet of postinor-2 60+hours after the sex and the other tablet 12 hours after it.
on the 1st of june, i did pregnancy test using home pregnancy kit. -ve.

is it possible i get pregnant ? during the sex, it was my 29day.i usually hv 30+ menstrual cycle. how long a fertile ovum survive after ovulation?

I'd suggest taking a pregnancy test if you don't get your cycle in a few days. The morning after pill is most effective 24 hours after intercourse but is still effective before 72 hours just not as effective.

It is unlikely you would ovulate 4 weeks into your cycle. Pregnancy is probably not what is causing your delayed period - unless you got pregnant prior to that sexual encounter on May 28.

Is there a reason you aren't using birth control if you don't wish to become pregnant?

Having sex IS being sexual active. Did his penis accidentally slip into you when you fell down? Then it wasn't an 'accident'. You chose to have sex.

Take another pregnancy test. Your period is more than likely delayed due to the hormones in the Plan B.

..ingi is that necessary?

i think what she means by not being sexually active is that she does not have sex all the time, everytime, it could have been a one time thing or her first time.

i felt your reply came off a little rude.
i could have be an unplanned to have sex at that time, it could be a 'caught up in the moment' thing.

give her a break.

i dont think you needed to say that first little comment, you could have just said,
'take another test. Your period is more than likely delayed due to the hormones in plan B.'

Having sex is being sexually active. No one should be subjecting themselves to unintended pregnancy. Sex doesn't accidentally happen. There is usually a build-up. And if you don't wish to get pregnant, you better use protection.

It is very unlikely, like I said before, that she was ovulated anywhere near the 4 week time of her cycle.

But you are very right, Krystine. All she needs to know is to read the package insert that came with her plan b that says her period can be delayed or she can experience irregular bleeding by taking that medication.

i agree with you as well, but im sure this girl could be kicking herself right now for not taking better precautions, so i just thought she didnt have to feel even worse about it.

but your right, if your not wanting to get pregnant, there are alot more steps you can take to prevent one.

thx..both of u are right. i learnt a lesson. i do understand that it could delayed the period. but it's stated there not later than 7days.

it's day 37. i took a test using morning urine. shows negative.
is it possible that the hcg level not high enough to be tested since it's only 1week after conception?

ok, maybe it's due to the plan b hormones. i will wait and see 1st and consider for birth control.

It takes 10-14 days for HCG hormones to build up enough to trigger a pregnancy test. Plan B is 80% effective if taken right away, which it sounds like you did. Plan B is a mega dose of hormones meant to delay your ovulation - which in turn, can really screw up your regular cycle.

So wait until 2 weeks since the unprotected sex and then test with your first morning urine.

Good luck!
