so my boyfriend and I had an accident where the condom broke and he finished inside me. my period started January 27 and ended Feburary 1. The accident happened happened 2 days before ovulation ( says my calendar which I know isn't always right ) i then took plan b 4 hours later.
It's four days later and I'm very nauseous, my ovaries hurt and my cervical mucus is wet, white and sticky but not like the egg white kind of mucus. also my periods are regular and my next period doesn't start till Feburary 24. does the mucus mean the pill didn't work and didn't prevent ovulation? I'm only 17 and terrified. I will get on the pill after this expirence. I'm stressing out!!!
Will plan b work when I'm fertile?

It has about an 80-95% rate of effectiveness. Dont read too much into what your body is doing. Plan b is a large blast of hormones designed to delay your ovulation until the sperm inside you dies out and it can do some pretty weird things to your body. You may or may not bleed a little a week or so after taking it. This doesnt mean you are or are not pregnant, it is just a side effect. Your next period may be delayed by these hormones so dont get too excited if you are late. If you are more than one week late, do a pregnancy test first thing in the morning with your morning first void (pee). This will have the strongest concentration of the hormone the test detects if you are pregnant.
