The timing with my birth control pill had been off and it happened around the time I am usually ovulating. I also know that he finished inside me. I was freaking out and ended up taking plan b that Sunday morning. I'm on my innactive pills now in my birth control pack and should have my period but I haven't gotten it yet. Is there a chance that I'm pregnant??? I'm in a panic, please help!
I'm on birth control but I had unprotected sex, took plan b but still no period, am I pregnant???

Number one, you do not ovulate while on the Pill-this is how it works-it prevents ovulation, no egg=no baby no matter how many sperm are present. The only way you can ovulate while on the Pill is if you miss pills. Being a little late on occasion isnt going to reduce effectiveness by that much. I'm not sure what you mean by "the timing with your birth control was off" if you were late a few times-you didnt need Plan b. Plan b is a huge blast of hormones. It is to delay ovulation slightly but if you are on the Pill you dont ovulate anyway. All Plan b does is mess up your cycle and can give you nasty side effects from all the extra hormones on top of the Pills hormones. Plan b is notorious for delaying periods. Keep taking your birth control pills every day and take them on time. "On time" can be an hour either way of your time. If you pick 4 pm, you are on time if you take it between 3 and 5pm. Just keep to your schedule. Start your new pack when it is time whether you got a period or not. Your cycle should be back to normal in a month or two. Next time if you are unsure, have your partner use a condom. Plan b doesnt mix well with the Pill. Plan b is not nearly as effective as regular birth control pills. Everyone seems to think it is this magical substance that totally prevents pregnancy. I'm sure the manufacturer is making millions! Plan b is only about 80% effective compared to 98-99.9% for the Pill when taken consistently and correctly.
Ready to start a petition that says you shouldn't be able to buy plan B without the pharmacist going over it with the person?
I have been sexually active for the past month. I had sex on the ninth of November, took the plan b the next day. Ended up having sex again on the 15th of November , took the plan b the next day. I got my period on the 23rd. it was heavy as usual, and lasted just a day longer than usual. I also had regular abdominal pains during my period. I want to know if there is still a chance I could get pregnant. I feel a little bloated. I don't know if that is from eating a lot of food, because I do eat in large quantities. It is hard to tuck my stomach in. I don't know if I'm just paranoid.. but I need help. Thanks
I'm on cerazette a month and a half and had to use emergency contraception twice before I started the pill will it affect how long it will take for me to be protected (aka condom broke ) or will I be already protected
