Hi guys. Hope you can help me with this.

Hello! My partner and I had sex last May 11, 2018. We used condom but it was left inside me when he pulled out after ejaculating. We panicked so May 12, I bought trust pill to use as emergency contraceptive, because that's what I've read in some forums online. My last period was April 17, 2018. My expected date of menstruation was on May 17. And until now, May 20, I haven't had my period yet. Is it possible that I'm pregnant? Or my body is just andjusting because of the pill? Thank you.

Hi, taking plan B is well known for causing irregular cycles for 2 to 3 months after you take it.  It's a big whopping dose of hormones which is how it works to prevent pregnancy from happing.  But afterwards, those hormones are still there.  Most women who take Plan be and emergency contraceptives have either abnormal bleeding or late periods for a good bit after taking it.  This is completely normal, what you describe.  

You are most likely not pregnant.

Do know that with the irregularity, your cycle is now not predictable so it's extra important to use birth control because you will not know when or around when you will next ovulate.  good luck

I'm using Trust pill as my Emergency Contraceptive. But it's just a birth control pill. I took it as soon as I learned about alternatives to Emergency Contraceptive since it's really hard here in my country to buy EC without doctor's prescription. I just don't know if it is effective as EC.

It is possible you are pregnant- but before you panic a lot of things can cause a late period, even stress (or worry about being pregnant).  Since you are late, go ahead and get a test.  Best of luck to you- let us know how you are!

I took a test yesterday, May 19. It says negative. Hoping that I'm not.. Ill get a test after a week. Thank you!
I'd venture to guess you are probably not pregnant if you got a negative test- never hurts to test again in a week if you still don't get it, but as specialmom said, that dose of hormones can cause your body to do out of the ordinary things for a little bit- however your periods should return to normal down the line.  
Thank you for answering.  Ill take a test again 3 weeks after intercourse.
