i took plan b... worried it didnt work?

Question

My last period was May 26th .. but i have irregular periods so that doesnt help... i had PROTECTED sex with my boyfriend on the June 13th.. it was our 3rd time but the condom broke.. immediately we rushed out and got plan B... i took it within and hour and a half after. and then took the 2nd pill 12 hours later .. which was the next morning so the 14th .. i havent really had any symptoms just a little upset stomach every now and then.. and yesterday the 18th i had back aches and now today i had a head ache and some stomach aches but idk if its related to plan b or not.. i read that people have had spotting and gotten their periods by now and i havent had any of that so i am worried it did not work.. also my nipples seem to be a little sensitive.. do you think the plan b worked?

Also, I sometimes get back cramps which i had yesterday and i break out on my face (which i am) .. before i get my period.. so do you think they could be my period symptoms as well?

Answer 1

It sounds like you might be starting to pms but pms symptoms are similar to some pregnancy symptoms . I would wait maybe wait a few more days and see if you period comes, if not then definitely do a pregnancy test. Worrying and stress will delay your period too.

Answer 2

So... you can afford to take plan B, but you're not with it enough to take birth control on a consistent basis? Like I said in a previous post, Plan B is a very risky drug that is generally meant for rape victims, not for people who are too lazy to take a pill every day. A lot of doctors won't even prescribe it because they are afraid of internal bleeding and hemmoraging. Condoms break? Yeah, they do that about 20% of the time. The best way to be safe are blood tests and the pill, not something you can get for a quarter out of a gas station bathroom vending machine. Go see your doctor if you're having stomach pains (generally not a symptom of PMS) and headaches because it could indicate a disruption in blood flow seeing as how your body is trying to abort an ovum (AKA early miscarriage).

Answer 3

It could be a reaction to plan B it could be pre-period issues.



You'll know if plan B worked in a month or so. Most likely it will work.
