plan b problems? really worried!

March 10th-17th i got my period.

Night of March 31st (SATURDAY) at about 11 pm- condom broke

April 2nd (MONDAY-at about 3:00 in the afternoon) - took Plan B pills

April 7th-12- (saturday-thursday)- i got a very light "period" all those days.

light meaning, about half to 3/4 of a lite tampon. it was always all red, no brown or pink. and lots of tissue.

i still havent gotten my period. but sometimes it will skip 2-3 months in between just normally. im not on the pill, however im going to start as soon as i get my next period.

i havent feel sick, and other than the 6 days of bleeding i havent experienced spotting at all. i dont feel any different.

does anyone know if the 6-day-kinde-bleeding accounts for a regular period? and can i put my mind to rest, for the most part?

thanks for your help!!!

sounds like a normal thing to happen when your hormones are wacky, like from taking the plan b. it's always nerve-racking when dealing w/ stuff like that, but if you're really worried, just take a pregnancy test and get it off your mind.

KKG2008,

This past month I experienced a not so reliable condom on a Sunday afternoon, 15 days ago. I took Plan B the next day, Monday.

Spot is due today and she is here. I did not experience any other bleeding. I can only assume and hope tomorrow brings AF on full and strong as normal.

Someone mentioned taking a HPT, which what I was planning to do tomorrow. If you are like me, you do not want to flush $20 down the drain. If you have a $ Store near you, they sell HPT’s and of course they are only a $. These tests are just as reliable as the costly FRE’s and EPT’s tests. As a matter of fact a $ store test showed me a positive (With my last child) when the costly brand names did not.

Good luck and I hope you get the outcome you want.

I've had to take Plan B twice before. Once I got my period about a week later. The other time it was about 5 weeks later. My period was always kinda weird anyway. You probably don't need to worry since you did take the pill within the 78 hours. Plan B just likes to play games with your period for the most part. ;)
