Q: Please Help - Plan B

I need some help regarding a situation i'm experiencing. I had my normal period started on dec 30th/05 and ended on jan 3rd/06. On jan 7th/05, me and my boyfriend had an accident and an hour later I took plan b (morning after pill - an hour later).

A week later on jan 13th, I got some bleeding which felt like my period, but it was a bit heavier. It lasted for two days and went away. It has now been 27 days since my original period ended and 23 days since I took plan b --- and still no period, which is totally freaking me out. I have no idea how long it's going to take until I get my period. I took 2 pregnancy tests recently - both negative.

If anyone could provide any advice whatsoever, it would be so greatly appreciated. Thank-you so much!!

Have you ever taken a morning-after pill before? It very well could be screwing with your body and throwing your period out of whack. Also, the fact that you are stressed is probably affecting it, too.

I'd say that unless you always start on the same day (the 30th) every month like clockwork, you really have no reason to panic right now. And the fact that the hpts (if they were early response) were negative should calm you a little. But, if it doesn't, trust me... I understand.

If I were you, i'd give it a little more time. But if you're that worried, go get a blood test.

i agree. The morning after pill is a high dose of hormones, remember. So it's very possible that it's throwing your cycle out of whack. If you aren't experiencing any pregnancy symptoms, you should try not to worry too terribly much. But like she said, a blood test will tell you for sure. A blood test never lies!!

You should be able to go to a planned parenthood place or a clinic and get tested confidentially. Just look one up and give them a call. Like i've told someone on here before: even if they do report to parents, they can't report you for just calling and asking.
