    Am I Pregnant?
    Hi I had unprotected sex about 10 days after my last period. I took plan be in the morning and about 6 days later I started to very lightly bleed, then I just had brown discharge. The bleeding didn't even last half a day and was very light, but the brown discharge lasted a couple of days but was still very light. Now it has been 39 days since my last period and still no period. I have taken two pregnancy tests and they were both negative. My nipples are sore and my back hurts. Last week I got cramps and then I had a lot of discharge. No morning sickness. It's been 4 weeks since having unprotected sex. Why am I not getting my period? Or am I pregnant? I'm just confused!

    Well the plan be is suppose to make you miss a period so that's normal, my friend went through the same situation and we thought she was pregnant but on the second month after she took plan be she got her period so don't worry and wait another month to see if you will get your period before you start to worry but I'm pretty sure your fine

    Why are you confused ? I guess you did not read the warning material that came with the pill? There are many many side effects, missing the next one or two periods are just one of them.

    This of course does not mean you are not pregnant, since the morning after pill is not 100 percent effective. * also should be in the material

    So you wait to see if you get next months period.

    I'm not reading that Plan B causes a person to skip a period. In fact, the manufacturer seems to be saying the opposite: "The only way of knowing Plan B One-Step® has been effective is when you get your next period, which should come at the expected time, or within a week of the expected time. If your period is more than seven days late, you may be pregnant.” Plan B One-Step® (levonorgestrel): Frequently Asked Questions

    It is entirely possible that your friend was pregnant and miscarried early.

    Do you have a source of info which is different from mine?

    Go to this website: http://women.webmd.com/guide/plan-b

    And go under the subtitle: How Does Plan B or Plan B One- Step Work

    It's says it right there that it May prevent or delay ovulation

    I have not read this, but from experience talking with many women that use it, it causes late or delayed cycle for one to two months which often appear as a missed cycle

    I'm reading this: "With Plan B or Plan B One-Step, you may also have some unexpected bleeding. It should go away by the time of your next period. However, it is possible that Plan B or Plan B One-Step may cause your next period to be heavier or lighter than usual. It may also come earlier or later than is normal for you. If you don't get your period within three weeks, get a pregnancy test to make sure you're not pregnant."

    This doesn't contradict what I posted. "We" are talking about menstruation, not ovulation.

    When the choice is between a website and the manufacturer's website, I'll pick the manufacturer: ""The only way of knowing Plan B One-Step® has been effective is when you get your next period, which should come at the expected time, or within a week of the expected time. If your period is more than seven days late, you may be pregnant.”
