OK so here is my dilemma. I just recently started having sex for the first time and I have never been on the pill or anything like it before, I am planning on getting it soon however. But here is my question. One of the first times I had sex the condom broke, so I freaked out and got Plan B, and I got my period 4 days later, but it only lasted 2 days, which I think was fine since that pill can mess up your cycle. I also think my period was a little earlier than expected, but I got it which I assume meant I was fine. Then I had sex 2 more times the day after that period ended and then once more 4 days later. Anyways, that period was on April 22. I am not late yet, it has only been about 24 or so days but I have been feeling kind of strange for about 2 weeks now, like having bad cramps, and weird feelings. And I think alot of it is in my head and I am just creating anxiety and postponing my period more by stressing and I am making myself physically ill and creating symptoms in my head by trying to diagnose it, like nausea and breast tenderness. I am freaking out. And the last strange thing is that it feels like I have already gotten my period several times so I keep checking but it's not there. It feels like it's coming out though. Is this normal? Should I just relax? The condom was fine all the other times I had sex, and from what I hear from people who just use condoms I should be ok. But since I am new at this I don't know what to expect. Also, I think because I took Plan B I am still having recurring effects from that this month, since my body isn't used to anything like thaty. I just need some reassurance. Do you think I am ok? I am hoping to get my period soon. Sorry for the lengthiness, I am just worried. Thanks for any help!

So let me just get this straight, because no matter what I am still worried of course! But I just want to make sure I understand. So the "period" after I took Plan B wasn't a period, but it meant that I was not pregnant right? Because I heard that it did. But if that wasn't a period, then that was all I got last month..So then what was it? Because I didn't get one after than and still haven't gotten one. And the symptoms won't stop. And I am sure it is ok, I am still just a little confused because I don't know when to expect my period then and how will I know if I am late?? It doesn't make sense because I am new to all of this. But I do appreciate all your advice, it made me feel alot better. I just wanted to clear a few things up. Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH Judie!
