Hey to answer your question about similarity between Plan B side effects and pregnancy symptoms, it's because Plan B is a HUGE dose of progesterone, the synthesized version of what your body naturally makes during pregnancy!

Just wanted to update on my post. I am pregnant! Plan B will not work if you ovulated or are in the process of ovulating.

Ok I'm here for all girls freaking out because I was in the same boat! I had unprotected sex with my neighbor right before my period. He pulled out but we were both really drunk. However I had not started my period yet and I was tracking my ovulation days so I thought I would be good. Skip forward to about two weeks later I have my period and then have unprotected sex again (No need to tell me how stupid I am) I knew my ovulation was about this time so I took a plan B. Got my period about a week later. So that means for a 4 week period I've bled twice. So I thought I was good not pregnant. I started to freak out when I thought I was suppose to start again my normal time. I got all my regular period symptoms minus the period. And then the freak out came. I had very sharp lower back pains and weird stomach cramps that weren't my normal cramps. I also would get very hungry some days but other days I wouldn't eat anything. My breast weren't super sore but they would get weird twinges here and there and they were bigger than normal. It wasn't until I started excess discharge. (TMI moment) there was ALOT of excess watery discharge. So after waking up almost every morning crying because I thought I was for sure pregnant I decided to take a pregnancy test which came back negative and helped by my mind to ease and the next morning my period came! 2 weeks late but it's here! So long story short of you bled after taking a plan B you're more than likely in the clear and DO NOT keep looking up symptoms! Your weird pregnancy like symptoms are part of a hormonal imbalance from the plan B and they can freak you out but if you sit and stress yourself out you'll make your period late. Just relax!

Took plan b (cvs brand) ~43 hours after no-condom, but on the pill, he pulled out before ejaculation but could've precum. A week later I had 3 day bleeding (not period) then a couple days after was one day of spotting. I've had a subtle headache, constipation, only sometimes wake up a little dizzy, and it's been two weeks. I'm supposed to get my first period after that night next week. Has anyone else experienced this scare but came out unimpregnated? The only thing keeping me going is that I don't have sore breasts or vivid dreams...yet.

I assume you have realized this by now, but you aren't pregnant. Those are the side effects of Plan B for some people. This is more a response for any new people with the same experience and question. The hormones can kick start your period, change the heaviness of it, and make you dizzy, nauseous, and have some body aches or sensitivity.

I had sex with my girlfriend on 01/29/17, the condom broke and my girlfriend bought a take action pill about 45 minutes after sex. She has irregular periods so we can t predict when the next one will come and the last time she had her period was was over 2 months ago. It has never been this long for her to go without her period. Anyways she took a pregnancy test about a month ago and it was negative. Could it possibly be inaccurate? The only symptoms she has had was increased appetite and sometimes random cravings, she has also been a little bit more tired than usually but not that much of a difference. I asked my pharmacist about it and he said that it could be because of the hormones from the pill. What do you guys think? Thanks for any help.

Hi there,

I took plan B the day after sex. Which was about a week ago. Few days after I got a couple of pimples is that normal? I haven't been feeling nausea or any of those other symptoms.

me and my girlfriend had unprotected sex last night, i think i pulled out in time but im not sure. I gave her (Option 2 Levonorgestrel Tablet, 1.5 mg Emergency Contraceptive, 1 Count) before 24hours. this was our first time having sex together, i learned later that she hasn't had a period in over 5 months so im not sure if she was ovulating or not. what should i look out for and good luck to all of you!

My girlfriend took plan B within about 19 hours after the sex. Her breasts were a little sore. But that's normal. She hasn't puked or anything. But it's been about 2.5 weeks and she just got some spotting. It was very light, barely anything an dark. She's had it a little bit one day and barely any the next day. Her period is also coming up soon. So does this just mean a sign her period is coming?

It was actually 1 week and 5 days and she noticed barely any brown/very light spotting for one day. What's that mean?

I took plan b about 3 days ago just to be extra safe but now im getting tummy aches like i have gas is that normal

That isnt necessarily true. The first time i purchased Plan B, i was sixteen and it was from any drugstore (Duane Reade for me). It is an over the counter pill and can be purchased by anyone.
