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.

Because ovulation may be delayed after taking Plan B, you don't know when the ovary is releasing an egg. So, without using another form of protection, like a condom, you could get pregnant. Plainly, if you have unprotected sex in the first few days after taking Plan B, it is possible to get pregnant.

Here is the link to the website for Plan B One Step:

You will find all the information about this pill that you should know.

Yes, changes in the menstrual cycle can be expected after taking Plan B. Your period can come earlier or be delayed by a few days. Menstrual flow can be lighter or heavier than usual. Plan B may delay ovulation, you may be at risk of pregnancy in the first few days after treatment. If your period is very light, you may want to take a home pregnancy test.

Hope this answers your questions,

what do you mean you could be at risk for pregnancy a few days after treatment? and it is light but i'm still bleeding this is the fourth day and my periods usually last 5. i still have no other symptoms it seems to be just because of the pill, and the condom didn't break so i'm not sure i could be pregnant, thanks

i had sex two days after my last period in october with a condom that didn't break, took plan b within 24 hours of sex a week later had light bleeding for a couple days, now it's november and i just started bleeding as of november 22 and i've felt a little crampy i'm still bleeding but it's lighter than my period usually is, is this because of the plan b? its this normal for it to be different since i took the pill? there are no changes in my boobs, and i haven't been throwing up, could i be pregnant or is this just because of the pill? please respond thanks!

Since your girlfriend took Plan B and got her period, she is not pregnant. In the future, to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, you should wear a condom each time you have sex. Your girlfriend should be using a regular form of birth control instead of relying on Plan B.

i had my period in october and two days after it ended i had sex using a condom, i believe the condom never broke but was worried so i took plan b one step, a week later i had light bleeding for a couple days which i knew was suppose to happen, it is now november and i still haven't receive my period but i have no signs of pregnancy and i dont think the condom broke, can anyone explain this? at times i do have cramps though, hopefully a sign of an upcoming period?
