A related discussion, Plan B twice, two days apart was started.
calm down. plan b does that to you. i just went to the doctor and spoked to her about it. plan b is a big dose of birth control so it made you get your period early to clean out anything that couldve gone there in ur case nothing because u used a condom and now it made u skip a month witch is cool if u dont get it regualr this month than id be worried.
Can someone please help me out?
I've ALWAYS been regular for my period, and my cycle usually lasts for 30-31 days. I got my period on July 29th, then I had sex on August 20th. The guy used a condom, and it's clarified that it didn't break or slip while we had sex. I still got paranoid, so I took Plan B on August 21st. 8 days later, I got my period, which lasted for about 4-5 days. I'm pretty sure it was an actual period because it wasn't just brown discharge or light bleeding. It was just like any other flow; I needed pads and tampons.
It's already October 17th, meaning I didn't get my period for September, which should've been on the 29th. I'm 19 days late, and I'm freakin' out! :(
I took a pregnancy test last Monday (October 11th), and it was negative. BUT, I took that test very late at night, close to midnight. Does it really matter at what time of day I took the test?
I also took a pregnancy test the week before, and it also came out negative. (I took this test in the afternoon.)
Should I calm down? Or should I buy another test and take it in the morning? I don't know what to do. :(

Hi!
First, I ALWAYS recommend a pregnancy test. In this case, a blood pregnancy test would certainly be nice, if possible. If you were my patient, and had a negative blood test, I would probably attribute the abnormal bleeding to Plan B. It is certainly true that Plan B can cause irregular bleeding. I would also recommend that you come in when the bleeding stopped for an exam and testing for STDs. Itching and irritation can be caused by many types of infections--one of the most common is yeast. Its easier to do the tests when the patient is not bleeding, but is possible to do even so if you have really bothersome symptoms.
Make sure that you do the pregnancy test to rule out miscarriage or tubal pregnancy!
Good luck!
