I took a Plan B day before period was supposed to start and still haven't gotten it?

Hi, 

So my partner and I had sex on June 29 and he came inside. Although I have an IUD he gets worried and I told him I'd take a Plan B the next day because everything was closed once we had finished. The thing is, I track my period and I was supposed to get my period this week (one tracker says on the 1st and the other says on the 3rd). Yesterday, the 3rd, I had cramps and bloating thinking my period was going to arrive but never did. I know that Plan B can throw your period at of wack but I'm wondering by how much? Is there a chance of being pregnant; I did take a pregnancy test yesterday and came out negative but I'm unsure if it's too early? I'm just stressing out over it by this point and any advice would be great.

As anniebrooke says, plan B is a big dose of hormones.  It typically will cause a woman to be irregular for at least 2 to 3 months after so try to ride it out as it will be unpredictable for while.  good luck

I don't think you should have taken the Plan B, myself. Not because you are pregnant but because your IUD would have prevented any pregnancy, and Plan B is not to be used lightly. It's a massive dose of hormones (which is why it messes up your period) and hormone doses this high are just for perhaps once in three to five years, not for someone who is already on a reliable form of b.c. and is trying not to let her boyfriend get a moment's nervousness. If he is so dang nervous, let him wear a condom. Don't put yourself at risk.
