Plan B Emergency Contraception - no period for 3 months
Posted: 11-06-07 13:20pm

I took the pill "plan B" after having un protected sex so it would prevent me from getting pregnent. It worked i got m period a week after taking the pill. I assumed after that everything would go back to normal. It had been 3 months since then and i have not had sex either but i have not had another period. Iv tried to find information to see if this is normal but i have had no luck. If this is normal or means someting is wrong with me please let me know. Im starting to get conserned. Confused

That is very good that you were responsible and took the initiative to get emergency contraceptive after having unprotected sex. However, make sure to only use it in emergencies and not as a normal form of birth control, because it is not nearly as effective as BC pills/condoms/etc, and it can throw your hormones out of whack if you take it too often.

Have you taken a pregnancy test to make sure you aren't pregnant? If it has been 3 months since you've had a period, maybe the "period" you thought you got was actually implantation bleeding. Was it lighter than usual? Take a test if you haven't.

Are your periods normally irregular, or before this happened did you have a set schedule?
