Chances of Pregnancy

Hello!  I am 35 years old and just entered a relatively new relationship.  We recently had sex (with a condom with no problems) during my fertile time on April 29th. My last period was April 13th.  I also used plan b within 24 hours as well as picked up a refill for my birth control pills (I quit taking them since I was not in a relationship for over a year).  Now, I am quite worried that I could be pregnant.  I have had a week of cramping (mainly on one side), nausea, and breast tenderness.  Most symptoms are now gone except for the cramping.  What really has me worried is that I had one spot of pinkish blood 3 days ago and I am not due to start my period for another day or so.  I know that plan b causes spotting, as well as the other symptoms.  I have taken two pregnancy tests since the spotting on Friday, both have been negative.  I was going to call my dr. this week, but I am really afraid that the teensy spotting could have been spotting and not related to the plan b.  I need some reassurance so that I can calm down and not delay my period due to stress!

it's a funny thing about how mind over matter makes such a difference. i'm only 18 years old, but i have had a couple scares and as soon as you THINK pregnant too hard, your body will automatically go into a mode and you can have pregnant symptoms! it doesn't mean that you are pregnant. it sounds like you know all of the above chances with the different affects you'll have with plan B and you also used a condom so i'm sure you are just fine.  I think plan B is a powerful thing and i doubt it would mess up and not work. so now your job is to just relax and quit stressing yourself out. time will tell, but the more you just believe you aren't pregnant the less stress you'll have. And if you really did get pregnant after all that to avoid it, God has a plan for you and that baby that you need to go along with! it's probably something special. but still don't assume the worst.. lol

Condoms aren't perfect....I am 35 and knew that.  I just wanted someone's elses opinion on my chances because I have worked myself up into quite the tizzy about it.  I didn't think I was until the extremely light spotting.  That made me nervous.  It is also hard knowing that my period will probably be late due to the plan b - I am anxious enough as it is without waiting an additional week.  I am also very nauseus, probably due to nerves, but since I am already thinking "pregnant", it isn't helping my stress levels.  Sorry, just wanted someone to understand without implying that I was ignorant.

Ok, you're 35 you should know that a condom prevents pregnancy. If you took plan B correctly then I doubt you're pregnant.
