thank you so much for posting this! I'm having the exact symptoms of what you described and haven't gotten my period yet a week after taking plan b. same situation as you, and am really panicking if I'm pregnant bc of period symptoms but no period! this helped a lot and I'm trying not to panic too much, maybe take a pregnancy test soon?
yes i would definitely take a pregnancy test and i'm sure you will be fine. my cycle is back on track again and i'm so glad my story helped someone :) it's horrible going through all this, i totally know your fears and anxiety. if you have any other questions, let me know.
I have the same story. Would you mind sharing the outcome?
read what Herschel (me) had posted, it is at the end of the page. I had similar thing happen to me. Brown a week after then got my period almost on time, just couple of days late or so. I think if you got brown discharge a week after, it already means that the pill worked. But yeah see more in the link for details and look at the posts other made. That thread really calmed me down during this terrifying month after the pill.
I decided to tell my story so more people who finds this can understand that this is more frequent than you'd think.
So, I was with my boyfriend and the condom broke before ejaculation on a Wednesday. Considering the risk of "pre cum" I took a morning pill on Thursday, my period was due around Friday and appeared on Monday (making it a 31 days cycle). Everything was normal I guess, I had some pain but no different from the usual.
This is what happened in the following month:
Week 1: Had a normal period, maybe slightly lighter.
Week 2: Had protected sex
Week 3: Protected sex. Breasts started to get sore.
Week 4: Sore breasts. Light spotting on Thursday. Even lighter on Friday, I got really anxious that day.
Week 5: Possible spotting on Sunday but it was so light I don't even know. Monday I started to think I felt cramps but not sure if it was my imagination. Tuesday my period came, this was 42 days later.
Hey guys I just wanted to share my experience with plan b, and hopefully ease some of your minds; because, up until 10 minutes ago, i was in the same terrifying boat as you all. so here's my story. Btw I'm 16 yearsold, and today is 2/5/16.
My last period came on Dec 20-24th, 48 days ago my usual cycle is 28 days... I lost my virginity on Dec 28th to this stupid guy I had a crush on when he was a senior at my high school and i was a sophomore, he was home for college break and me and a friend decided to 'hangout' one night with him and his friend. We ended up drinking enough where we were all buzzed, late at night we ended up having sex. it was my first time so it was hard for him to "get it in" but he did. he's a douche bag so he took off the condom we originally put on WITHOUT TELLING ME. he never ejaculated inside me he says but there was pre-cum most likely. so the next day (dec 29th) i went to the pharmacy at around 11am and bought the plan b pill. on (i think) Jan 2nd i started to bleed for 3-4 days almost like a period, however it was a lighter flow and a darker color and kinda spotty. I freaked because i researched that "implantation bleeding" exists and is kinda like spotting and happens around this time. But then I also saw that this is a side effect of plan-b, it gives you withdrawal bleeding. ((don't freak if you didn't experience this, because there is no evidence whether or not its a good sign, i read one girl's experience that she did not have this bleeding and 56 days later got her period/ was not pregnant)) so anyways i was freaking out, i had exams that week also so i was stressed (this could have caused the delay of my period or the pill is just whack) I missed my period due january 17th,
and took a pregnancy hcg test on jan 20th that was negative, and also did not get a period 28 days after the spotty withdrawal "period" (jan 30th) so on jan 31st i took another test that was negative. but i was still REALLY freaking out, i was convincing myself the tests must be wrong because i was just SURE my breasts were sore, i had a lot of discharge, i was peeing all the time, and was eating everything. BUT today, feb 5th, 48 days after my last period and 38 days after the pill, ive got a light period! it's kinda spotty but now i'm so reassured.
SOOOO if you're anything like me (wi=hich sadly, everyones different) you MIGHT not be pregnant, you could miss your period for longer than i did and still be in the clear, just keep taking some tests and calm down because it will most likely come and everything will be alright :) goodluck !
