hi. :)
So, I've had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend on the 26th-27th of this month. I can't really tell the exact time, because it was somewhere around 11pm of the 26th and 1am of the 27th. As soon as we finished, he tells me that I should take plan b for precaution. and that he didn't finish in me, but he's not sure. So immediately, we drive to the store and buy the pill, and I take it... it may have been 15-30 minutes afterward.
Meanwhile, my planned period is on the 29th of this month. And I was starting to cramp the day before, giving me a signal to buy pads, (which lead me into the sex)
I've been having a few side effects, embarrassingly I must say. haha, fatigue, Diarrhea, a little nausea, but no vomiting, and some pain in the stomach.
well, I know so little about the plan b pill; please excuse my ignorance, but, today is the 31st and it's the third day that I haven't gotten my period. Is this normal? If my period is late, when do you think I should expect it to come? I'm sort of in a panic about pregnancy as well, But I've told myself to calm down until I know more about how the schedule and stuff works. Help? :/
Sorry my battery on my tablet died. I'm not a fan of plan B, but used once in a while its ok. Its not as effective as if you were on regular birth control. If you're having sex you should use some form of protection.
Thank you so much. :) If it's ok, can I come back in a week and tell you my status? I seem to be fine now. very few side effects now, not even cramping anymore. Maybe once or twice throughout the day.
I'll have a talk today with my bf about protection. Thanks again! ^_^
Sure hon, I like to know how you girls are doing.
so! I have an update! ^_^
the first week, after I've taken the pill was terrible! I've had cramps and diarrhea, but my period seemed pretty normal, so it lasted maybe 3-6 days. the second week was better, but for some reason, I've craved so much junk food, and my intake with food was all oily/salty and sugary. My diarrhea was still there, and I had gas. Ive told my boyfriend that I wouldn't have sex with in for a while, and he agreed, but around the 15th of February, we did it again. (Dang it Valentines day! lol) I guess love conquers all, right? haha
Expand...
the third week (ended a few days ago) is so much better! I'm eating right again, green and yellow veggies, and I've always taken an orange to work. :) However the gas and Diarrhea was still there. and just a few days ago, I've had a 24-hour cold. I took Vitamin A, for the immune and eye. I guess I was thinking that maybe it would get rid of the cold quicker. which I guess has. today I've pretty much gotten over it. this is the last month, which is the month that I'm waiting for. It's now or never! lol I have a period tracker, and it said that this upcoming period should start on the 3rd of march, since it started late this month because of the pill. :)
Correction: told him* that we wouldn't have sex for a while and he agreed.
Last week, Which is the week that I'm waiting for**
Another update! it seems that the plan b pill really takes effect on when your period will start. lol my period started way later than my planned date was. it was almost a week late, which was pretty scary at first.
