Did it work this time?

Plan b really can mess up your cycle. Plan b works best the sooner you take it. If you are on the later side of taking it and a sperm does fertilize and egg before Plan b can work, it wont stop the pregnancy that has already taken place. It sounds to me like you probably need to speak to the Dr about a more reliable birth control method. Plan b should not be used as contraception. I think your plan of testing by the 14th is a good one. If you have not bled by then, go ahead and take a test. If it is negative, and stilll no bleed by the beginning of August, take another test. If that one is negative, then you can be pretty sure that you are not pregnant and it is just the Plan b altering your cycle. I'm not a big fan of Plan b. You are better off using condoms to try to prevent pregnancy.

In the event of a condom break (which is what Plan b is meant for-emergency back up, not for first line contraception) it is better than doing nothing at all but, really, in this day and age, contraception is widely available and it is rather irresponsible not to use anything if you dont want to get pregnant. I dont like Plan b because I think too many girls think, in the heat of the moment, that they will just go ahead, then use Plan b and I think that is just too much of a high risk (as you found out previously-it doesnt always work) and the fact that it screws up your cycle so much it causes a lot of worry and stress. Hopefully you dodged the bullet this time but do talk to your Dr about a more reliable method if you are going to be sexually active. There are many options to choose from and one of them should fit your lifestyle. If you dont want hormones, you can always use condoms and foam. It is best to keep your own condoms with you than rely on the male to have one. It is better for you, storing it in your purse, than him storing it in his wallet. The warmth of the wallet next to his body breaks down the latex which can lead to tears and breaks. Foam is good to use with condoms because it provides back up spermicide in case of a break. Good luck! I hope everything works out for you this time and I hope you'll be better prepared next time! :)
