okkiki6... later. My breasts are tender off and on and my areola has gotten darker and larger and the glands are more prominent. I am almost one week late for my period. I took a pregnancy test but it said negative. Could I be pregnant or is what I am experiencing common with PLAN B? Thanks
I took PLAN B within 24 hours of having sex - I had no side effects until about a week to 10 days?

Okkiki6... depending on what Plan B is, the most frequent type of 'the morning contraceptive' is high dose estrogen... this will cause all of the symptoms you listed ... worrying won't help your period start... try to relax, I know it's scary ... but if taken in time, you should have nothing to worry about. I received my MSN in nursing at U of FL ... I think I got a good education ... any problems, I'll be here...

so it is normal for me to be almost a week late? i had sex last month and there were no holes in condom but my boyfriend said that there was some semen coming out of the base of the condom so i took plan b one step well within 24 hours of sex, i had spotting a week later, in october i got my period i believe on the 7th it is now nov. 13, is this normal? i have gotten some cramps but they go away
It is normal. I would expect menstrual irregularities for a bit after the high dose estrogen Plan B. You had spotting, which I would count as a period and have had a period in 11/11. Try not to worry, since emotions play a big part I'm body mind type symptomology. If all else fails, I could always tell I was preggers because my vaginal mucus turned white and thicker than normal. But I could always feel when i ovulated. Lucky me.
If you are still worried, take a home pregnant test.
Should make u feel better.
Good luck and God bless you sweetie.
what do you mean by have a had a period in 11/11?, and you would count the spotting as a period although it wasn't as heavy as usual? and it's okay for it to not be here yet? i get faint cramps then they go away
Oops Haley...
I would take light cramping as your body's reaction to the morning after pill (Plan B). That pill or pills u took after sex, theoretically made implantation of any ova that may have been there impossible
. Please try not to freak out. Stress can prevent your period from starting. I thought u said u had a period this month ... I misunderstood.
Nevertheless, try to calm down.
Write me, let me know what's up.
i had the spotting a week after taking the one step pill, and i've had some cramps that come and go in november thinking that its my period coming, and what do you mean made an implantation possible... ?
thanks for responding!
Imariani55- I wanted to add that I am pregnant. But I will also add -because I do not want to freak others out who happen to have taken Plan B as well. I had no spotting AT ALL after taking Plan B and my symptoms did not gradually fade away- they became more obvious. As well the symptoms I experienced are very uncommom for emergency contraceptives.
The common symptoms such as cramps, dizziness, and naseau I DID NOT have- I had extreme breast changes in size and nipple color. Which are obviously a very good sign of pregnancy.
Okay ... estrogen makes your breasts sore and you retain water... called PMS. I don't know what to say but I'm sorry that I didn't speak more regarding darkening aureole which IS a sign of pregnancy. I hope okkiki that you will be okay. Again I apologize.
If anyone has any feelings that they might be pregnant, whether after the Plan B pill or not ... take the pregnancy test, go to Planned Parenthood ... take responsiblity for your actions. I'm not sure those hormones in the pills are good for the fetus.
Haley,
If you are at all worried that u might b pregnant ... by all means take the pregnancy test. You are far enough past your normal period for it to give you accurate results.
If you are old enough to b having sex, you are old enough not to let unwanted pregnancies occur. Go to a clinic, Planned Parenthood or your own doc to discuss contraception. Put your big girl panties on ...

I will take a test soon but i still have hope it will come, in my situation the condom didnt break so i dont see how i could be pregnant and the spotting did last all day gor a couple days if that should count as a period could that mean i can receive my next one the same time i had spotting or a period
This is true sweetie, but to b on the safe side... and I have found most men think with their little heads... and it's your body. I want nothing but happiness for you. Please b safe. Best regards and good luck.
Imariani55 - Thank you for your support. I guess somethings are just meant to be!
Okikki,
OK darling, I know things can b a shock. As John Lennon so eloquently stated, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans". I'll always b here for u and CONGRATULATIONS! !!!
PEACE Sister,
i dont have any signs of pregnancy so i think i am fine, plus no breaking of the condom, maybe my period will come when i had spotting. and it has changed my cycle, which it does..
Haley... I will keep my fingers crossed for u. Like I said before, wasn't even due to start my period and my vaginal mucus changed... got thicker. That's a good sign too. I remember when I was young, started birth control pills when I was 13... but that was the 60's hippy Dippy, let your hair down and burn your bra days. It's on the History channel sometimes. It was a wild ride. I believe first and foremost ... know ur body.
Peace sweetie,
so i still haven't received it but i've had cramps today and i had dark stuff in my underwear towards the end of the day a lot of it, and i still have cramps right now. i still haven't thrown up or had sore boobs.. and im positive the condom didn't break because we used the water test, i'm confused.
