i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend 3/4 days after my periods got over. panicked, i took the Morning-after pill within three hours and took the 2nd one 12 hours later as it is supposed to be taken. he still insists that he did not cum inside and pulled out well in time. i was expecting my periods on 23rd of this month, and there is no sign of it yet.

after around 9-10 days that i took the pill, i experienced occasional slight spotting for just about three days and now its just a white , clumpy discharge. it is just getting me worried. Am i pregnant? Sad

The same day that my period went away.....i had unprotected sex so my boyfriend and i went to a pharmacy about a half hour after we were finished to buy the plan b pill and the pharmacist told him that it would be better if i took both of the pills at the same time right away. So i did and now it's a week later and i got my period again!!....I'm sort of scared and i dont know what to do. Help? Sad

"There are two pills in one package. The first pill is supposed to be taken within 72 hours but the sooner you take it the bigger chances of preventing pregnancy. The second pill should be taken exactly 12 hours after the first one. "

hey there is a correction to the first post, on the plan b package it says "plan b can prevent pregnancy if the 2 tablets are taken together within 72 hours (3 days) after a contraceptive accident or unprotected sex"

I took the fist Plan B pill around 6:30 in the evening. The question I have is, I took the 2nd pill the next morning around 7:20 which is almost 1 hour late. Will that affect the effectiveness of the Plan B? Should I redo both doses?

I have been taking my birth control for over a year now and my last period was normal starting on April 29th and ending on May 4th. I take my birth control but i rarely take it at exactly the same time everyday and i occasionally miss a pill but i always take 2 the next day. this week however that happened twice but i took both pills the next day both times. Since i am so irregular about when i take my birth control (even though my periods are always right and start at the same time every month) I still use condoms. Me and my boyfriend had sex last night with a condom but it got stuck inside of me after he went when he pulled out. Of course i freaked out b/c i take every precaution to not get pregnant and went to the store to get Plan B. I took the first Plan B pill about 3 and a half to four hours after the incident and am planning on taking the second one today exactly 12 hours after the first. what are the possibilities of me being pregnant?

what happens if she forgot to take the second pill in the next 12 hours and she took it the next day? What do you think that would do?

I'm wondering if anyone can help me understand this. My GF and I had a condom accident on day 8 of her cycle (2 days or so after her period ended). She took the pill within 2 hours of this. 6 days after that, she started having bleeding she describes like her period. This has been going on for the 3rd day now, but is about 2 weeks from her normal period date.

Can someone tell me what this means? I've been reading a lot of mixed things on other forums so i'm wondering if anyone can offer expert opinions. I called Planned Parenthood to ask about this and they described that this is what's supposed to happen with Plan B if it works. But i'm trying to see if this is correct?

i'm guessing this act happened a couple of days before she was supposed to ovulate. I also am guessing that this bleeding is shedding of the uterus. If this is the case does this mean no egg could implant (i think i heard before that journey takes about a week after fertilization). Should she expect her period at the normal time (Plan B box says this despite listing bleeding as a side effect).

Please offer any advice or personal experience. This has been a rough stressful bunch of days for us.

so my boyfriend and i were fooling around one night and began going at it, we used a condom but it broke, im not on bc but 35 hrs. later i took plan b. I only experienced feeling somewhat sick but thats about it, there was only a little back pain, but no bleeding at all. I read you are suppose to bleed somewhat, is this true? should i be concerned that i didnt bleed? Im about 5 days away from my regular period and starting to experience cramps simiallar to my period. im just looking for opinions and adive.
thanks
