i started my last menstrual period on MAY
19, 2008, my period is usually VERY
regular and 28 days.
on the weekend of june 7th, 8th, and 9th i
had unprotected sex with my boyfriend
using the pull out method (yes i know it
doesn't always work) we've been together
almost 2 years and have used this method
before and it's been fine.
based on my cycle, i should have been
ovulating between may 31-june 4th, based
on my cervical mucus around that time, i
was ovulating.
i was worried about the unprotected sex so
at 7:30pm on June 9th, i took my first
PLAN B tablet. then i took the 2nd tablet
on june 10 at 7:30am. i had harsh side
effects of plan b for a few days last
week: headache (i get migraines, i am very
sensitive to hormones) and sick to my
stomach and bad anxiety (which i have
anyways but it made it A LOT worse, i also
noticed i had a slight fever.
anyways, i was supposed to get my period
on june 16, and am 3 days late and
FREAKING OUT! i'm very scared, too scared
to take a pregnancy test just yet.
i started getting my normal pms signs on
june 13th, and still don't have my period.
i am very worried. something simular
happened to be back in december of 2007
where i was 1-2 weeks late with the same
stress and symptoms i am experiencing now
(except last time i did not take plan b
after unprotected sex)
i've read a few places that plan b cannot
make your period late, just early and
other places said it can.
i've just come here for support and
opinions. i honestly am tooo worried to
take a pregnancy test (unless of course i
get more symptoms and am still late in a
week or so) so please don't suggest that
thank you very much in advance
i've also been stressed more then usual
this month. and of course am stressing
about this situation.

Plan B messes up your cycle so you can't
really just expect your period to come on
time. It could be a week early or it could
be a week late. You may have some weird
periods for a few months.
Between the plan B and the fact that
you're stressed, it seems pretty normal to
me that it's late. Relax.
And for the future, you should probably
look into birth control. It will save you
a lot of stress.
Thanks so much for the reply maddie! I
have tryed birth control in the past but
am VERY sensitive to hormones, i've tryed
ortho tri cyclen lo and the mini pill and
it's given me bad side effects with my
migraine headaches! i'd like to get an iud
but for some reason my gyno is very
against giving them to woman w.o children
=(

Well make sure you have a nice supply of
condoms then.
Honestly, the pull out method is very
risky. It's unprotected sex. Period.
Save yourself a good month of worrying and
use some form of protection always!
