Plan B and Bleeding

[elyacky]

Hi,

I took Plan B on Saturday September 15 and the second pill twelve hours after.  I had mentioned that I had not had sexual intercourse, I had a dress on and my underwear on and my boyfriend had his underwear and shorts on.  I just Sat on top of him in a way we felt our private parts.  I was scared of pre-*** going inside of me, from this act.  Everyone told me that there is zero possibility, but I took the first plan b pill two hours this occured and then the second one 12 hours like it indicated.  The first day of my period was 5th of September, so when this occured it was on the 8th day of my cycle.  Today is the 21st of September and I wiped and there was blood.  I know that Plan B said that I could have bleeding one or two days after but a week already past.  I am currently on day 17 of my cycle.  I am so scared that I could be pregnant. Like I said after I did this I did not notice anything on his shorts, I just noticed a smal stain on his underwear, but this is because I told him that I wanted to see since I got scared. I am a virgin, and we are getting married in may and I am not ready for pregancy.  Is this bleeding normal after plan b, is it implantation bleeding? My period is due on the 2nd of October which is the 28th day of the cycle.  I do not know how it will be since I took plan B, please help.  Everyone tells me that precum could not have gone all the way through, but i need a medical response.

Elaine,

Could this be my period that I am experimenting? That it just came early.  Please let me know.  Right now the bleeding is red again.

Let me know.

I am on day 18 of my cycle.

Let me know.

Hi!  I was worried that you might have some irregular bleeding as that is pretty normal after taking Plan B.  I also get a sense of how nervous you are about this, and I was worried that you would be worried!  ;)

I honestly think you will be fine, and that the likelihood of pregnancy is very small although I have learned never to say never!

You are probably too early yet for a pregnancy test, but by the time you expect your period you could take a home test.  I would definitely do that if the period doesn't come.  I'll warn you, it may be unusual because of the Plan B.  If the  pregnancy test is negative then, you could repeat a second one in a week and then if negative again, I'd call it good.

Hope this helps you!

Today is the 22nd of the September and instead of the pink blood when I wiped, it is like a brownish.

Thanks!
