Hi I took plan b may 30th because the condom broke during intercourse and we are not sure when it did , he pulled out and started cumming , he was sure he didn't cum in me but I was afraid about Precum and got the pill the next day less then 24 hours after sex. I started bleeding 3 days later it started out light brown and got very heavy full on bleeding like a menstrual cycle it lasted for 5 days. I had cramps too during then. During the bleeding I did have slight itching but seemed to go away then. Few days after I then experienced the feeling like I need to pee and sometimes I'd go and barely anything would come out . Even a few minutes after going I'd get the need to pee again and barely anything would come out , no pain or discoloration in pee . Just the need to pee. I have been having cramps , nothing really different with my breasts .i took the pill about 6 days before ovulation and now it's been 2 weeks and a few days and I'm due for my period soon and I'm having to pee frequently and am having clear wet discharge the past day when I feel down there it's very wet could this be from the hormones in my body or could my body havd restarted its cycle since the plan b bleeding and does that mean the discharge could be from ovulating so many questions are running through my head and I'm only young and I really don't want to be pregnant please help !!!
Took plan b, frequent urination week after and now clear discharge am I pregnant??

How did u go for you? Update?
Did you get ur period i’m so worried cos i’m in the exact situation right now
Did it work out for you ?
Plan B is a huge artificial dose of the same hormone that would be present in your body if you were pregnant. Therefore it gives the same type of symptoms, such as those you've mentioned.
The only way to be sure, is to do a pregnancy test if you don't get your period on time (which you might not, as Plan B can make it late).
*hormone that would be MORE present in your body
It's possible that the needing to pee but nothing coming out, is cystitis. That's common after sex, as the bladder often gets bruised. You can by over the counter treatments for cystitis at your pharmacy. I've used Cystopurin in the past, because I am prone to cystitis after intercourse. Cranberry juice is also good for cystitis.
I'm due for my period any day now but what about the clear discharge I knew that can be a sign of pregnancy ?? I'm a little nauseas right now but i don't know I'm literally a nervous wreck right now and these past few days . I don't understand if peeing often is a sign of pregnancy , mine occurred in the first week . Today I've been really having the need to pee and it's been almost every hour now and I'm peeing usual amounts . A few days after I started noticing the need to pee I had amoxicillin in my house because I had the prescriptions few months ago for my one tooth to not get infected and I researched that it could help with UTIs so I took it to see if it would help I only took a few pills for a couple days and last night I did research and see amoxicillin could be harmful to plan b but I didn't start taking it until almost a week after taking plan b could that of made a effect ?
'Plan B is a huge artificial dose of the same hormone that would be present in your body if you were pregnant. Therefore it gives the SAME type of symptoms, such as THOSE YOU'VE MENTIONED. '
Amoxicillin a week late will not effect Plan B. It'll possibly give you thrush, though! That could account for the excessive discharge, but as I've said, it's also a hormonal symptom. If it's itchy, then it'll be thrush from the Amoxi. Gives me thrush all the time.
Thank you for the help . But what is the likely good I'm pregnant ? My boyfriend didn't ejaculate in me just Precum and I took the pill within 24 hours I also experienced bleeding a few days after that was very heavy so how could I be pregnant from such every amounts of bleeding
You're welcome. It sounds unlikely that you are pregnant, but not impossible. Taken within 12 hours, Plan B is said to be around 90% effective (less than regular birth control pills). It gradually becomes less effective, until, at the latest time it can be used, which is 3 days/72 hours later, it is 75% effective.
A recent study showed that a guy who has sperm present in his pre-ejaculatory fluid/pre-cum, always has it there, even if he's urinated since his last ejaculation. Some thought that urination would rinse any sperm that remained, out of his urethra, but this has now been proved incorrect, by a study done by Human Fertility.
Yeah I've heard information like that before. Idk when to expect to get my period cause of the very heavy irregular bleeding (shedding my uterus lining) so I was wondering since then should I count that as a new cycle and start over because if I would I would be considered ovulating right now and would explain the clear watery discharge because most people get that around ovulation but I'm not quite sure I've read so much information and people say all different . My period is supposed to be due any day now but I think it might be late since I'm very stressed and have taken a pill to mess with my hormones
It's impossible to say. Plan B messes with your body/cycle & everyone reacts differently. Some get irregular bleeding/no bleeding for a couple of months, others get a mixture of spotting, bleeding, but no regular period etc. At an educated guess, based on what you've said, I 'd say the last bleed was from the Plan B, & your actual period will likely follow in a week or two, but don't be surprised if that's not the case.
Yeah I usually have pretty rough periods with bad cramps and bleeding that lasts for about a week so I'm hoping that plan b is just really messing with everything and I will get my period soon . Knowing the way my period usually reacts it usually is always late specially because of stress so I would suppose it would be late too . Thankyou very much for the help and calming me down a little .
My gut instinct is that you won't be pregnant, & it's just a case of waiting for your body to get back to normal again. If you weren't very regular to begin with, or if you use regular birth control as well as taking Plan B, then I've known it take 2 or 3 months for some women to get their regular periods back.
If you want to speed things up, then as long as you aren't taking any hormonal birth control now, you can use a natural product called Agnus Castus (Vitex in the USA). It works to naturally balance your hormones, I used it to get my periods back to normal after 18 years on the Depo Provera shot, when even operations (D&C) didn't help. It's really good & has no side effects, other than working against hormonal birth control (which tries to create an imbalance to prevent you becoming pregnant, whereas Agnus Castus creates balance).
I'm still using it years later, because it's stopped my heavy bleeding, & is the only thing that gives me a regular cycle. It's also great for cramps & PMS.
Milk Thistle is another natural product that is great for clotty periods.
Yeah maybe I'll try that and no I'm not on any birth control . I hope these symptoms are from plan b and not pregnancy . I am very sorry for doing stuff like this and it was a freak accident and it definitely is a lesson learn . I just hope it doesn't get worse .
I've been there, several times over the years! I know how you feel. It's horrible!
I honestly think you'll be find, it'd just be irresponsible of me not to give you the whole story.
Okay thanks . I've just been a mess and can't even sleep at night because I'm thinking about possibly being pregnant and I was shaking all night last night over this. I'm trying to stay calm but thinking about being pregnant when I'm only a teenager is very scary. It was a mistake I should've never made and I really hope the pill is just this bad and this much like pregnancy symptoms and I'm okay. I knew taking the pill I'd get symptoms because I just know how everything works down there but now that my period is due any day now I'm very worried it's due on the 20th . I am getting a sore pain in my vagina or just like a little pain I was getting this a few days ago I hope this is because of my period.
As I say, your period is likely to be a week or two late. Not always, but it's common. You can do a pregnancy test on 20th, if you get one that's able to give an accurate result from the day you should've started your period.
Okay I will do so . I don't know what I'd do if I end up pregnant and can I still be experiencing symptoms from plan b even if it's already 2 weeks and a few days since I've taken it ? And what were your symptoms like when took plan b ?
Plan B gives some women symptoms for weeks.
Each time I've used Plan B over the years (maybe 4 times in total) I've had a different experience with it. It seems to very much depend on where you are in your monthly cycle, when you take the Drug.
On about 3 of the occasions I've been chronically depressed for 2 weeks.
Sometimes I've bled within a few days, other times I've not bled for four or 5 weeks, then just had spotting, & no actual period for about 2 months.
I've had sore/leaky breasts, chronic lower back ache, terrible cramps, nausea, extra discharge, headaches, mood swings & probably more that I can't bring to mind right now.
Did you ever take the pill a few days before ovulation and do you know when you had lots of discharge ?
I'm just super confused with plan b and how it works. I've been on thousands of different websites and they all same different things some websites say it sheds your uterine lining so a baby can't implant well if that's the case my defiantly shedded and I'd think it would stop me from getting pregnant but then others said if you take it before ovulation it just delays it but if that's true then what about the bleeding ? Do you know how it really works!
Yes, I took the Pill before ovulation & had lots of discharge within a day or two.
The best way to know how it works is to go to the Manufacturer's website. Planbonestep dot com ( I can't post links here)
On there, they say that the way it works is by delaying ovulation.
Some have made claims that it may also work by making the uterine wall unsuitable for pregnancy, and/or by thickening the cervical mucus, to prevent the sperm meeting the eggs, but the Manufacturer DOES NOT lay claim to this. There is no evidence to support this.
I actually think there may be some truth in it, & it's just a case of not enough studies for the Manufacturer to be able to claim that it is so, but that's just my personal opinion.
WRT the bleeding, any form of contraception that contains a high dose of progesterone, will cause bleeding. It doesn't have to be from a genuine period (i.e. flushing eggs out of the body)
Sorry, I mean flushing unfertilized eggs & womb lining out of the body
I was just looking up more information on antibiotics and they usually cause diarrhea, stomach pain including nausea which I've had that today . The discharge they say from thrush is usually white and slimy which mines like that but clear and they say it could also be clear . I don't know what to believe . I dont understand would I be getting so many pregnancy symptoms in less then 3 weeks such as nausea, cramping, clear discharge, frequent urination which I had since the first week which is why I think it could be something else. I really don't know , I thought taking plan b would really work but now I'm scared and not so sure of it
Yes, antibiotics can cause that, but so can Plan B.
It's common to get Plan B symptoms for weeks as the hormone leaves your body. It takes time. Everyone is different.
At this stage it's impossible to know if you've cystitis, thrush, or if your other symptoms are Plan B or pregnancy. As I said, the symptoms are very overlapping.
Well thankyou for all the help im trying to be patient and calm as possible . I hope they are all a mix of plan b and the antibiotics and not pregnancy there's no way I'd want a baby in my life now
You're very welcome. I'm sure you'll be fine.
