Condom slippage and Plan B

Ok, complicated story. Was on Ortho-Tri Cyclen for several years, and then switch to Ortho-Lo. After completing the first full pack, I went on vacation for 2 weeks and forgot my new pack of pills. I had my last period beginning June 3rd. I decided to wait until my next period to start the pill again. BF and I used a condom, but it slipped off inside of me. Around this time, I had been spotting some (didn't really think it was a full period because it was two weeks after my last one, but spotting lasted for 4 days. Was also on a low carb regimen which, in the past, had led to spotting). Most of his semen was still in the condom, but to be safe I took Plan B w/in 12 hours with no side effects. I still have not had a period! I took a home pregnancy test last week and it was negative. I plan on taking another one this week. Honestly, I don't have any symptoms of pregnancy besides the lack of period - which I'm hoping may be attributed to going off the pill. I plan to start the pill again whenever I get my next period. Any thoughts, please?!?

Hi sasgirl_v, welcome!

Under the circumstances I think you have done all that you can. Now it's a matter of waiting. Plan B is very effective if taken early which is what you did. I think Aunt Flo will probably be along any time now. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Hugs,
