Thread: period issues after Plan B - please help!

I had my last period the last week of July into the first week of August, in the time frame that I would have normally had it. I used Plan B during that month but I had no complications (and I assumed I wasn't pregnant when I had my period normally). I took Plan B again on Aug 2 (a day after my period ended) because the condom broke while I was having sex two days before...and While I didn't think I would get pregnant anyway I took it as a precautionary thing. I didn't have any immediate side effects, but I got my period again about 4-5 days later (and about a week after my normal period) - I assumed this was the Plan B causing changes in my menstrual cycle so I was not worried. I did not have sex during the first two weeks of August (the 1-14), but I went to the doctor on Aug 20 and started antibiotics for UTI. They also did a pregnancy test since I was starting antibiotics and it was negative. I had sex once since then (with condoms), and I have not had sex since Aug 21. During that time I started PMSing as normally. I expected to start my period normally this week (first week of Sept) but so far I have not had anything. I am wondering if maybe I should start counting up to my cycle from the last time I started my period in July, or if I should count it from when I started it that week in August (after Plan B)? I am a little concerned about the possible delay. I have experienced some very mild reddish spotting for the past day or two (just once or twice) but it didn't seem out of the ordinary from PMS symptoms. I am still experiencing some PMS symptoms (for about 10 or so days now) but still no period. I am wondering if the Plan B has thrown my menstrual cycle timing off, or if I should be concerned about anything? I am very positive that I'm not pregnant - it's been about 2 weeks since I last had sex (and the pregnancy test) and I have not experienced anything out of the ordinary, just my normal PMS symptoms on schedule. Please help!

Sounds like a solid plan to me. Birth control is a far better choice than plan B for most people, and definitely a wise move after you've needed plan B twice. Good luck, and I hope it works out for you.
