Extremely Concerned
On December 1st, my boyfriend and I had sex and the condom broke. Immediately after, we went to the drugstore and got plan b and I had taken the pill about an hour after the incident. This was 3 days after my period had ended. I had the normal cramping that was expected and then about 6 days after I had taken the pill, I started spotting which then led into heavy bleeding (as heavy as my normal period maybe even heavier) and this lasted 4 days. Now 2 weeks later I'm getting stressed and I'm not sure if I'll get my period on time or if what I had a few days after the pill would be considered this months period.
This past weekend I ate a lot of spicy Mexican food on Saturday and then ate a lot at chili's while watching the game. Last night I was sick as a dog with diarrhea and nausea. I've been paranoid because my first thought was that it was "morning sickness" and not from the food I ate. Today I still had diarrhea but I'm feeling better than yesterday. Is this nausea and diarrhea a symptom of pregnancy? Did the plan b not work?
If you took the plan b as directed within the required time for effectiveness (which from your description I believe you did), then you are most likely NOT pregnant. As for your menstrual cycle, plan b has such an effect one women that your cycle may not be back to "normal" for a few months, so don't be alarmed if you notice your period timing is way off. The fact that you had a heavy period after taking the plan b is a great indication that you're not pregnant.
Nausea is a pretty common pregnancy symptom for many women (not so much the diarrhea, it varies), but it seems like you had some MX food that didn't agree with your tummy, and you were feeling the symptoms of an upset gastrointenstial system, not pregnancy symptoms!
If you're really worried about it, go to the local drugs store or dollar store and buy a home pregnancy test. This would be the quickest way to ease your mind.
