Question About After Taking "plan B" Posted: 06-08-06 18:30pm
Okay, hi. So, I have been on birth
control for almost a year now. The other
day (friday) I took my last hormonal pill,
and followed on saturday with a sugar
pill. I wanted to prevent getting my
period on sunday, so on sunday I took an
extra hormonal pill in place of the
planned sugar pill. That night ...
Around 11pm, my boyfriend and I had sex
without use of a condom. The morning
after I went to planned parenthood where I
received the morning after pill (23 hours
after intercourse had taken place). The
people at planned parenthood told me that
although I was being responsible by
obtaining the pill, I did not need it
because of the chances of me getting
pregnant were very slim (seeing as where I
was in my cycle). They gave me the "plan
b" pills, however. They also told me that
I probably wouldn't see must irregularity
in my period seeing as how close I was to
it anyhow. I took the pill on monday
*6/5/06* it is now 8th of june. This is a
little bit later than I usually get my
period. I researched this online and many
people said experiencing late periods
after the use of plan b is normal. I was
wonder what people think about this and
about my situation. Please get back to me
as soon as possible, as I am over reacting
much as I do in all situations. Thank you
so much!

Plan b can affect your cycle and make your
period late, so I wouldn't worry too much
about it. If it doesn't come in about a
week, you can take a pregnancy test, but
you should be fine.
