9 days late after taking Plan B a month ago.

I just re read the instructions and consumer information for Plan B and it says that it does not bring on your period, only spotting up to a few days. I had originally thought that the bleeding I experienced a week after taking the pill was my period.

I took it almost a month ago and am now 9 days late. I've been cramping ever since the spotting and last week for three days I couldn't even walk around the house I was so dizzy and out of balance. Its now three weeks after taking Plan B and I'm experiencing sore breasts, headaches, cramps, random nausea, and frequent urination. Today I started having severe lower abdominal pain (like stabbing) limited to my left side. Its only happened a few times when I stand up or move a certain way. Theres still a dull ache from time to time in the same area. I'm really worried that I might have an ectopic pregnancy. I took a test this past thursday and got a faint positive but another taken later showed negative.

What should I do? I just recently lost my health insurance and it costs $90 for a doctors visit without any lab testing. Where can I go to get this checked out? And does it sound like i'm pregnant or i'm just having really late symptoms from the pill?

you received a postive hpt so most likely you are pregnant...however because you got a postive followed by a negative it might have been chemical. take a test in a few days

im not from america so i dont know about  your health care costs but if u think your having an etopic pregnancy then you should really go no matter what the cost

but there are so many other things you could have
you could have had a reaction from the plan B (after taking plan b a lot of people are late on their next period
you could have an sti or std, that would explain most syptoms
you could have an ovarian cyst

you need to go to the doctors really because people on here cant really tell you for definate what it is and if its causing pain its not good.
