Anyone Who Have Taken Plan B Before
Posted: 11-18-07 21:25pm

Hi!

I am so worried right now about possible pregnancy.
I had my period on September the 15th. On the 22nd i had unprotected sex and within 23 hrs i took Plan B. 2-3 Days later, my vagina bleed just like my period. Now, it is November 18th already and my expected period is already 3 days late. Does this mean i'm pregnant or late period ? Pleaes, help! i am so stressed out right now. Thanks alot!

It doesn't necessarily mean you are pregnant. Plan-B caused you to have your period early, so you really should count from when you had that period.

I agree with Eiri. I've had to take Plan B once before, and I got my period a few days after taking it. I think its because there are such strong hormones in it, and once they are done going through your system you can get withdrawl bleeding just like you do from birth control pills. I wouldn't worry about your period being late. It is probably that way since you bled just a few weeks before. However, you never know, so just incase I would take a pregnancy test to ease your mind. If you are 3 days late already then a test would be very accurate by now.
