Okay where do i start, I have taken Plan b a few times(not cuz i like to be irresponsible but...)in the past 6 months. I have noticed that my periods look like ALOT of old blood coming out, and bright red like usual also... I had my last period beginning on december 6-7 and it ended with 10th..I had unproteced sex 12/12/07 and he said he did not "CUM" inside me, but i know i felt it, SO i went and asked 2 pharmacists if i should take a plan b, and how high the risk of getting pregnant would be since i had just ended my period..one sd dont worry bout it, and another said to get the pill, if i didnt want to take the chance, so i did... after that i had protected sex on monday 12/17/07, and now starting this morning i see like a little bit of old blood, and am just now starting to feel crampy like im gonna start my period... Could i be pregnant? is something wrong with me? could those pills have messed me up for good? am i overreacting cuz i dont want to get pregnant???

I think you are over reacting. It's VERY unlikely that you are pregnant. Plan B is extremely hard on your body and should only be taken as a last resort if it's an emergency. NOT as a form of birth control.

Why on earth would you have unprotected sex 5 days after a huge scare and going through the pain of plan B?!!

Sorry to be so harsh, I'm not judging you. Just trying to figure out why you would put yourself through all of this.

Are you doing anything to protect against STDs?

Please, do yourself a favor and get on a reliable form of B.C. The mental and physical stress you are putting your body through is not worth the few minutes of sex without a condom. Please.

Hi and thank you for responding! After i took the plan b we had protected sex, we used a condom. Don't worry about being harsh on me! It's not nearly as harsh as im being on myself!I appreciate any advise you can give me!! I am gonna get some regular birth control, But can u reccomend something that doesnt have CRAZY side effects like wieght gain or hormones gone crazy? for alot of years i got the Depo shot, and it caused me to feel horrible, get unwanted hair growth, and some weight gain. Is the patch effective? Or an IUD?

You're probably freaking just a little because you don't want to get pregnant. Talk to your doctor about what your best option is. For some people, things that regulate hormones just don't work out well.

You can try different types of the pill, but I think perhaps you want something you don't have to take daily.

There are new IUDs on the market. There is also a cervical cap.

DO NOT TAKE PLAN B anymore!!! Come on, be responsible. Condoms until you find something better, please. I can't help it. I'm a mom. Even if she is only a toddler! LOL

Just make an appointment with your doctor or you local clinic and talk to them about your options. There are so many choices you can try different ones until you find one that is good for your body.
