My bf and I had unprotected sex right atfer I just ended my period I took plan B pills and the next day I got my period again even though I just had it 3 days earlier. But now I still haven't gotten my period. Is it possible that I'm just late?

Can anyone please help me? I'm thinking I'm just going to get my period really late. Or is it possible that I am pregnant? Answers asap please.

I'm trying to stay calm but I couldn't. I've been hearing people talking about babies and being pregnant and I'm scared.

A lot of people that took plan B pill have side effect such as spotting.
I'm wondering when does the spotting start?

I just had my first time on friday around 3am. My partner and I had an unprotected sex. It was 3-4 days after my period. He pulled out after inserting 4 times because it was hurting me. I asked him hours later if he had pre-ejaculated/ejaculated, he said, no. I did take Plan-B today at 1pm. I was wondering how likely for me to become pregnant and how fast does the plan-B work?
thank you,

I am not currently taking birth control. my boyfriend and i had unprotected sex so i decided to take plan B, then for some reason, we made a bad decision and had unprotected sex again, but then i got my period. So that usually means your not pregnant correct? Well we made another really bad decision and it made the same mistake, but i ended up taking Plan B again. My period just finished a little less then a week ago, and today i started to bleed again. its kind of brownish/reddish. what does this mean?

Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for your comment. Plan B is not meant to be regular contraception. Please contact your doctor about getting on regular birth control, or learning about options to avoid making "bad decisions" again. We cannot give odds on whether you got pregnant or not. A missed period generally is a tip-off you could be pregnant. If you miss your period next month (be aware the Plan B can alter your cycle, so it may not come when you expect it), you can at that time then take a home pregnancy test, or request one from your doctor.
For more information, please review this article: Emergency Contraception Update, 2010
Good luck and let us know how you're doing.

Ok I have been stressing about this. I had my period oct 12-16. I had sex on oct 22 and took plan b few hours after. then on oct 27 I got another period again. It lasted about 5 days.. I haven't gotten my period for November. It usually starts on the 12th. Am I pregnant?

We can't tell if you're pregnant, but we can tell you that using Plan B is likely to change your schedule. Here's more information. https://www.empowher.com/sex-amp-relationships/content/emergency-contraception-update-2010
