    Missed periods--due to Plan B?

    Well long story short... took Plan B because the condom broke. Period was expectedly off. Got it two days after taking the pill (two weeks after my previous period). Well then I got another period two weeks after that one. Ok fine... then I had my period 5 weeks later. I was worried when it was missed, but I got it, so fine. Well again, now it's been four months since I last took Plan B and I am going on two weeks late after the last just described. How long does Plan B affect your period?!? I heard only 1-2 months, but this is twice that! Please help, I hate stressing every month whether this is hormonal or pregnancy. I had PMS symptoms a week and a half ago. I was very emotional/irritated and my breasts (still) are really sore (not common during my PMS), no cramping . Anyone know if this is common or if I should worry? Personal experiences?

    Everyone's different, when I took plan B it didn't affect me at all (to the point where I wondered if I had taken a sugar pill by accident!).

    Stress can certainly cause your cycle to be out of whack, so take a pregnancy test (or a few) to put your mind at ease.

      But I am honestly not even stressing like many people do. I mean, naturally I am worried, but I know that it could be Plan B still messing with me, so I am not over-stressing or anything. Anyway, I will definitely need to take a pregnancy test. Thank you

        Take a test to put your mind at ease for sure. Have you had unprotected sex since?
