She could not possibly get pregnant from sex on a non-fertile day, and it is likely (not certain) that those 2 days were not fertile, but the fingering day (6th) might have been. Taking the EC pill does not guarantee pregnancy will not occur, especially as taken before the fingering incident. However, the early bleeding reported indicates that ovulation was prevented, and she is not pregnant.
And now her back hurts
So because she took the EC that means she basically had a second period? And the “second period” is because the pill would have prevented ovulation? And if ovulation didn’t happen then she wouldn’t be able to get pregnant no matter what? And with all the dates I’ve given what would be her next period if you could guess?
She says her back really hurts today but there have been no other symptoms at all, I’m just really worried
That's right.
Bleeding from EC is like a period, and usually occurs after EC has been effective.
Her next period could start 28 days from when her bleeding started.

Hello I’m new to this. I’m wondering if I took plan B and am spotting, and it was heavy. Can I spot as I ovulate or is my ovulation over with already. Being my period started on March 22nd and ended 28th. And took pill April 3
Hi Guest180417
You haven't given much information about your circumstances!
- If your cycle is always 28 days, then your next period would have been due 19 April
- With a cycle of 28 days, you would have expected to ovulate on 5 April.
- Presumably, you had some sexual activity involving fingering on or before 3 April
- If taken in time EC prevents ovulation, so the question about ovulation should not arise
- Spotting is usually much lighter than a period, and not usually 'heavy'
- It could well be that your post-PlanB bleeding has started
I hope this helps as a start. It would help if you could say exactly what happened (with dates) and also give your menstrual history (last 6 start-dates)
In responding, please use a name (not necessarily your own) to identify you. There are a number of threads from different people, and it can get confusing!
So since she bled like she did that means ovulation didn’t happen which means that even if sperm entered her vagina that she couldn’t have gotten pregnant because there wouldn’t have been an egg for the sperm to fertilize?
That is the main idea of EC - to prevent ovulation (egg-releasing). Without ovulation, pregnancy cannot occur.
Okay so everything seems good so far, she’s having no symptoms and the bleeding (which I asked about and you said it was her period) would this Saturday be a fertile day?
You'll have to remind me of dates and events, but I don't think I said it was her period (Apr 3?). As she had taken EC, it would have likely been withdrawal bleeding. But, having taken EC, her next period may come at an unexpected time. So it is difficult to predict fertile days. It may be that her period will start in the 1st week of May. In which case she would have ovulated already (what has her cervical mucus been like?). That being so, Saturday 28th would not likely be a fertile day. But there are no guarantees. It all depends when she ovulates.
Her period started on March 28th we had protected sex 3 time on the 31st (nothing went wrong no broken condoms and I even pulled out still) then on April 3rd we had protected sex 2 times (again nothing went wrong no broken condoms and I pulled out both times) she took a morning after pill the night of the 3rd (brand was “take action” on April 6th she gave me a ha****b and I fingered her, I possibly had a tiny amount of sperm on my fingers that seeped through my underwear (she removed her hands and I ejaculated in my pants against my underwear and possibly got some on my fingers zipping up my pants) she had heavy bleeding which started on the 9th and I asked on here if the EC caused it and you told me that if she took an EC and then sometime afterwards she started to have heavy bleeding then it means that the EC was successful in preventing ovulation which means she couldn’t be pregnant, and you predicted her next period as May 4/5 and said maybe a week earlier than that and also maybe a week later than that, since the bleeding that started on the 9th and ended about 6 days later she hasn’t had any symptoms of pregnancy (which she couldn’t possibly be pregnant if the pill prevented ovulation correct?)
The likelihood is that 31 March & 3+6 April were not fertile days.
Where did I 'predict' her period to start 4/5 May? I thought I said 6/7 May based on a 27/28 day cycle.
If her bleeding started 9 April, then I would not really expect her next period to start until 6/7 May, but it could be earlier or later. Having taken EC her cycle cannot be 'predicted'. She might even miss a period.
It would seem the EC worked, and therefore she would not get pregnant from sexual activity in the 72 hours up to taking EC.

Well the EC definitely worked because she wouldn’t have bled heavy like she did almost 2 weeks later after her period had it not worked right? Because the bleeding was the lining coming apart and so ovulation didn’t happen right?
That seems to be the case from what you have described.
