So I was a little bad with my birth control this month. I took it late a couple of times... but always took it. Then just days before my period my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and just to be safe he went and bought me "MyWay" (Generic Plan B). That was last week and now I am anxiously awaiting my period. I'm kind of nervous because I haven't had any syptoms. Am I just freaking out for nothing? My boyfriend and I have regular unprotected sex but he always pulls out before he finishes. Am I just catastrophizing?
Hi TH1,
"Late a couple of times?" If you mean a few hours either way, even missing one and taking it when you remember, you are unlikely to get pregnant. You don't have to be "down to the minute."
You probably did not need the Plan B. Your next few periods can be early or late and heavier or lighter than normal. You might have some spotting too.
Yes, you're expecting the worst to happen and it likely won't.
One time i was just a couple hours late and then the second time i had forgotten it at home and had to take it the next day. But i believe one of those was during the first week.
Not really an issue. You took it as directed.
