To all those who search up the same question:
I took Plan B three years ago and everything was fine – both first and second period after were on time. However, recently when I took it again my first period was 2 days late (which is common if you took it AFTER you ovulate; your period will generally be 2 days EARLY if you took the pill BEFORE your ovulate), and my second period was ELEVEN days late.
WHAT TO DO: Do not panic. If you know yourself to be the really panicky person, I suggest you go straight to a walk-in and ask for a blood test – those are accurate about 3 days after conception. Otherwise, buy a pregnancy test with 2 tests in a pack – it's a little cheaper and helps to ease your mind if you do it wrong or still aren't convinced. I suggest doing the first test 3 days after your period was supposed to start, and the second test another 2-3 days later.
If they are both negative – caaaaalm down. If you can't, go get a blood test from a walk-in clinic, or if you really can't wait to know, try going to the ER. You may tell them you're afraid of an ectopic (tube) pregnancy – say it runs in your family and that you get sharp pain in the lower abdomen so they take you more seriously. They can perform a blood test and tell you the results in just an hour. Or they will at least do a sensitive urine test, so you save money on one. And then you just have to wait for your body to get back on track.
TIPS: If possible, talk to your partner about your joint decision on your course of actual if you really are pregnant – it will help calm you. If you live with your parents, and hiding your stress from them is difficult, don't be too afraid to tell, especially after you've done 2 urine tests and they were both negative. Your mother or sister can help you calm down and present more information and options.
All in all, stay calm, and please come back and share your experience once everything is straightened out so that you may ease the nerves of others who are in the same boat!

Hi. Thank you for your post, it calms me down a bit. The problem is I am reading so much, also from sites where women try to get pregnant and they have all of these hopeful stories where the test showed negative and after three months or something they found out they were pregnant so I can't find a way to relax. My last period was on Dec 21st and my cycle is between 26-28 days. I took ella one on January 1st, two hours after the accident. I should have gotten my period on the 17th of January, but except some brownish discharge, nothing came. Now I am 10 days late and no sign of period, even though I have sore brests and feel tired sometimes (but it could be the effect of the map or the weather). I have taken two tests, and came back negative but then I find myself reading about these issues like one hour everyday. I can not find out how many days after a missed period is a test result 100% sure. Any advice besides going to the doctor, because it makes it all too real :S. Thanks.
