    Plan B lasting longer than normal, HELP!

    I am 20 years old and I have took the plan B pill three times in four and a half years, and this time i took it, some symptoms haven't gone away such as changes in vaginal bleeding, pain in my left pelvic (not very sharp, just really annoying), headaches and feeling nauseous. I thought I had pelvic inflammatory disease but then I realized one I have been having sex with the same person for four and a half years and this all started after it took the plan b pill (which by the way was 3 months ago). Does the symptoms go away over time? Do they affect me in the long run (fertility problems is what I'm referring too)? And I can't afford to go to the doctors, does anyone have any suggestions? Or help. Thank you.

    Oh and I also thought it could be ectopic..which is still a possibility

    I think you need a better form of birth control if you keep having to use plan b. It's possible they gave you a different pill than before. Several different birth control pills can be combined in to an emergency pill. Emergency contraceptive can wreak havoc for months. I don't think it will do any permanent reproductive damage but there are plenty of side effect risks.
