Q: Plan B in system ?
asked by: raydar88 on January 22nd, 2009

so, I've been doing some research online and haven't quite found the answer that I've needed, so I was hoping someone would be able to help me out..

My fiance and i had unprotected sex a week after my period. I took plan b about 60 hrs later, and the day after I took the second pill we had sex once again (this time the condom broke). I called my doctor just in case I needed to take it again, and she told me that the EC would be in my system for up to 5 days and I shouldn't have to worry about becoming pregnant. A little less than a week later, I was spotting for 2 days.
Now, my questions are:

1.) is my doctor wrong about the EC being in my system for 5 days?

2.) could the EC make my period come late, and if yes, how late? (I should've started on the 11th [2 weeks ago] and I had symptoms that I was about to start, but still, nothing, and I've taken 2 pregnancy tests since, and both have had a negative result.)

any help will be greatly appreciated.. thankyou in advance

I've always read that it's only effective on the previous unprotected sex, nothing afterward.

Since you are two weeks late, go to the hospital and get a blood test. Plan B is not 100% effective, but yes it can make your period late. It will actually completely screw with it for awhile. It took 4 months for mine to get back on track.
