Okay I think I'm going crazy and my head is playing tricks on me, but I had sex 4 days ago and the condom ripped we didn't notice till we were done so he came inside of me, the next day I went to go buy plan be thinking everything will be OK until I came online after taking the pill and it said that it will not take affect for women over 166 pounds and over, and yes I'm a little on the heavy side so if true the pill won't have any effect on me (so they say). If true I can still have that big chance of being pregnant, so 3 days after the incident my breast started to feel verry verry sore, and I was burping more then usual and now it's the 4rth day after and some weird cramp woke me up at 3 in the morning with a little bit of nausea with still sore breast, I know its to early to get symptoms this early on but I I was just wondering if anyone can help? And answer will be verry appreciated. Do you guys think its true about the plan be not working for women in the heavier side ? Could I still be pregnant even if I took the pill?. am I pregnant?. please no rude answers

Yes you could still get pregnant... but its far too soon for you to find out.

I've heard absolutely nothing that your weight has a factor in how or if that pill works. It isn't 100% effective even if you took it immediately... and its effectiveness dropps unitl it is effectively useless after 72 hours...

Sorry to say... but there is no possible way to find out before you are two weeks late for your next period and can take a test. If you understand statistics, you see why I am stressing that...

Worry all you want... but it can't accomplish anything any faster.

Plan B will still work for you. But no matter your weight, plan B is not 100 percent effective. The longer you waited to use it, the less effect it would have.

It can take 2 to 3 days for sperm to reach the egg. You should not be having any signs, esp the ones you describe. So it is most likely all in your head, after reading pregnancy signs on internet ( my guess)

Now you, like millions of women this month, have to just wait to see if you have your period this month or not

It is possible that the plan b is less effective, as it is a progestin only pill. Combination pills may be more effective, but even those are thought to not be as effective for women who are overweight. This is also why there is thought that regular birth control pills may not be as effective for overweight women, and one possible reason why some women may have an increased chance of becoming pregnant even while using birth control pills consistently.

Regardless, as was said, even if there was no possible effect at all from weight, pregnancy would still be a possibility. Again, you will need to wait until your next period and see what happens. Where in your cycle were you when you had the sex 4 days ago? That can play a bigger role in the possibility of pregnancy than even the plan b.

OK so I asked a question last night of some weird symptoms that are happening to me way to soon to be pregnancy symptoms ((SO I THINK)). Maybe I didn't explain myself good, so I'm going to ask again so bare with me, and please have patients! Im 21 years of age and I had sexual relationships 4 DAYS AGO with my boyfriend of 4 years, we did wear a condom but for our luck it ripped we didn't notice until we finished ((AND YES HE CAME IN SIDE OF ME)) so we freaked out a little, but we remembered about the day after pill ((PLAN B)) so we went the next day to walmart and bought it. After I took it I thought my problem would be gone and I would be good, I went on the internet to learn more about PLAN B and to my surprise it said THE PILL Won't TAKE AFFECT FOR WOMEN OVER 166 POUNDS ! If you haven't heard of these you can go online yourself and see that I'm no lying. Anyway of course I freaked because if I would have known I wouldn't of bought it, or better yet tooken it. 3 days after we had sex my boobs started to feel verry sore and I thought it would be my period but I'm not due till 2 more weeks and my boobs never felt this sore, the next day ((4TH DAY AFTER)) I was awaken at 3 am to the worst cramp ever, my boobs still verry sore and a little bit or nausea and that's how I felt all day with nausea, I would get in the car and when I would come out I would feel light headed and dizzy, I don't know if they are pregnancy symptons if they are is it normal to have them this soon? What do you think? I ask this question again because I want more answers then the last one I wants peoples opinions!

P.s Now I'm in the 5th day after having sex and my back just really hurts I don't know why?

So...you already asked...and you didn't like what you were told...asking again isn't going to get you any better answers. The fact is, we CANNOT diagnose you online and determine if you're pregnant or not. YES, it IS POSSIBLE....Are you? MAYBE....MAYBE not. It is TOO early for anyone to tell.

The Plan B pill...maybe it will lose some effectiveness but what are you going to do about it? Too late to worry about that now.

I think these "symptoms" you are experiencing days after are all in your head...either that or you are getting sick.

I think you worry too much....I think you should wait and see what happens with your period. Keep in mind that many women that take this Plan B pill have a delayed period.

Ok when did I ever say hey diagnose me?. I'm verry moody today and this this is rude well to me it is I speak my mind if I ask is because I want peoples opinion I want to see if some people have gone through the same as I have because some people have OK there is so many people in this world you don't even begin to know how many feel pregnancy changes in their bodys... so no your wrong, it can happen... and if I want to ask the question again I will ! But thanks for stating the obvious...

odinn7 · May 25, 2014, 11:20 AM

In your original question you asked "am I pregnant?" so, in effect, you did ask to be diagnosed...and again I say, we can't give you an answer for that.

Also, the only one being rude is you.

And no, "your" wrong...3 or 4 days is impossible to tell. Being mad at me isn't going to change that.

Asking the same question over again is against site rules...this is why a mod merged your new question to this one.

DoulaLC · May 25, 2014, 11:25 AM

Wendy... it is very likely that what you are feeling is due to the plan b. Many women will experience some nausea, breast tenderness, dizziness, irregular bleeding, and more after taking it.

You asked for people's opinions and you were given one by odinn7. What was said is true that whether plan b is less effective or not due to your weight is a mute point. At your weight, odds are good that while the effectiveness may be lessened it is not guaranteed to be ineffective. Pregnancy can still happen for anyone who uses plan b... regardless of weight. Yes, your chances may increase from that possibility, but only if you happened to be close to ovulation... otherwise it wouldn't make a difference as pregnancy could not happen.

You wouldn't feel pregnancy symptoms so soon because if you have become pregnant, the egg would still be in the process of moving towards implantation.

Now all you can do is wait and see what happens when your period is expected. Odds are very good that you are not pregnant, but obviously if your period doesn't show up, give it a bit of time in case it is just late, and then test if necessary.
