My period came over a week late and it was just weird. I would be 2 weeks and 2 days pregnant today if I am but im having all signs, im boating, im having abdominal pains, it seems like i live in the bathroom, im tired, and I've been getting sick. When is a good time to take a pregnancy test?

Make sure as well you use additional protection for at least the first month, otherwise you can still end up pregnant.

Plan b can affect the usual cycle time and cause it to be delayed. Since you got a period, I wouldn't worry. If you miss the next period, then take a test

Oh. Well that changes everything, and actually explains a lot. Stopping BC throws your entire body out of whack, because it is dependent on the hormones in your body. When you suddenly stop it, your body freaks and try's to regulate itself. Plan B is a massive dose of hormones designed to prevent ovulation and/or make the uterus an unfriendly place. It also has a huge thing of side effects, such as fatigue, malaise, nausea/vomiting, headache, breast changes, late/early or completely skipped cycle, cramping, abdominal pain, irregular spotting, etc. The fact that your cycle is late, is not surprising in the least. Your body is just handling a lot.

Start your BC again, and if you will miss it or do miss it, just use a condom or abstain. It's better than putting your body and mind through hell.

I know I wasnt really thinking about my wording there, but I had sex about 1.5-2 weeks before my period, I was on birth control but I missed a week, I took plan B but stopped taking everything after, expecting it to come early and when it didnt I waited for the usual time but it came over a week after it should have

Ah. When most people say they've been getting sick, it means vomiting. You mean malaise. I also only said what I did about ovulating because you said you were 2 weeks if you were pregnant. But if you know what happens then, why say you are 2 weeks pregnant? I'm not sure I understand completely.

When was your LMP, when did you have sex, what is your typical cycle length (28 days, 29 days, etc)

I know the 2 week ovulating part, I have a calculator thing that shows what happens in that week. I haven't been throwing up just not feeling well

There actually is no such thing as being two weeks pregnant. The way pregnancy is dated is from the first day of your last menstrual cycle. So at 'two weeks pregnant' you're actually ovulating or preparing to do so. At minimum you could be 3 weeks pregnant. Abdominal pains, nausea/vomiting, and fatigue are more likely signs of a viral infection vs pregnancy.
