Morning after pill and BC
OK. So I was on Apri for a year when I was with my bf. My last period on Apri was July 18, 2008. After that period, I took about 4 of the pills before I decided to go off the pill for a few months, since my bf and I broke up months ago and I don't like taking medicine/hormones I don't need. Naturally, my period started again a few days after I stopped taking the pill, so maybe the beginning of August. Last week, I made a really stupid, stupid mistake and slept with my ex w/o protection. He did not ejaculate inside me. However, to be safe, I made sure that I took the morning after pill within 72 hours. My question is- what are the chances, honestly, that I my period was back on schedule? Because if it was, I would have had unprotected sex smack in the middle of my ovulation. However, I'm assuming that going off the pill after a year had my system all out of whack. Second question- I've heard that Plan B can cause bleeding/spotting. I just took this thing a few days ago, so I've had no period/spotting yet- but if I start my period, could it be "fake?" Should I still take a pregnancy test if my period comes, because it could be induced by plan B?
Sorry for the barrage of questions. I'm just really p*ssed at myself for making such a stupid, stupid decision. Thanks in advance for any help/advice!
FYI- I'm a 28/f and do not have any children or previous pregnancies.

I can give you general information about birth control but can't answer your medical questions.
I suggest you re-post this question for the gynecologist in the Gynecology Expert Forum:

Here's some general information: oral contraceptives are not harmful; in fact, they regulate your period, which greatly simplifies your life. I recommend that once you're on a regimen of the pills, you NEVER stop taking them. Your situation perfectly illustrates why this is a good idea: you never know what's going to happen, and when you'll need them. Women often make the mistake of thinking that the pills are somehow bad for them, and that if they're not planning on having p-v sex they should stop. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Dr. J

not sure if this was the right forum- if it wasn't, I apologize- it did say birth control in the description.
