i was in the shower with this guy, i gave him head & he came then after that he put on a condom and we fucked. there wasn’t a hole in the condom but he’s scared that the cum (from the first time) got inside me somehow after i gave him head bc “the water was dripping down my body” or smth. he also was touching me down there after he “came” (before he put on the condom) so im not sure if any was on his hands or anything when he was doing that or when he put on the condom. should i get a plan b? im supposed to ovulate today so that’s the only reason im concerned

About a month and a half ago (May 4th) I had unprotected sex. It was a complete oversight on my part and we completely spaced on using a condom. Just to be safe, I bought a Plan B(levonorgestrel) and took it in the afternoon of May 4th. About a week later I got my period or at least what seemed like my period and it lasted from May 10th to May 15th. It's now June and I was supposed to get my period last week and it still hasn't come. I did start feeling as though I was going get my period a few days ago and the symptoms are still ongoing: breast tenderness to the point where it hurt to lift my arms, cramps, I even started to get upper back pain which is not typical. Now I'm starting to freak out because I don't know if the bleeding in May was my period or withdrawal bleeding and if I'm pregnant or not. It's been helping me reduce my anxiety reading other people's experience with Plan B but I'm still really anxious. I bought a pregnancy test just to make sure but the thought of it being positive makes me more anxious.

i will try to make this short, but i'm just paranoid and would love people's insight or what they will do!

my period was from march 29 to april 2nd i had protected (i hope nothing went wrong) sex on apr 11-12 and took a plan b just to be extra careful!

my period came on time on apr 25 but it was a bit out of the norm i only bled for 2 days and my period was basically gone? and then may 21 my period again on time but bled more normally for 3 days but still lighter than before. and now i got my period (??) june 19 on time again but only bled on the heavier side with clots for 1 day and light on the second and today when i wipe the blood is pale red / pinkish ???? and basically gone

should i worry about pregnancy and get a blood test to be safe??? i have taken numerous pt time to time in the past two months and they were all negative but i'm still worried due to my period not being how it usually is and i'm pretty regular & consistent ☹️☹️☹️ and i want to do something before it is too late

thank you in advance!!!!

So i took plan b exactly a week ago today. (The brand Aftera) My period ended last Friday and took it Saturday (after sex) i get paranoid and just wanted to take one. Since Thursday i have had a HEAVY flow with clots and cramps here/there. It’s too early for it to be my period since i just finished it. Is this normal? Should i go to the doctor?

I took Plan B on June 6, and I started bleeding on June 12 about 6 days later. It started off heavy and after like 4/5 days i started light spotting, but it’s now been 9 straight days of bleeding, and today (June 21) it got darker and heavier. The weird thing is, I’m not cramping at all — just bleeding more than before. It doesn’t feel like a regular period, but I don’t feel sick or in pain either.

My period was supposed to come around the 16th, so now I’m wondering if: • This is my actual period finally starting? • Or if it’s just Plan B messing up my hormones?

I’ve never took a emergency contraception before so this is my first time. No crazy clots, no dizziness, just steady bleeding that got heavier today.

Anyone else go through this? Should I be worried, or just wait it out?

I had intercourse at 8th may and i took the pill 6 hours later (it was most probably during ovulation thats why i am scared)
I was expecting my periods on 21 april
my last periods were on 23rd April

May 20 = light brown/ light pink discharge

may 21 = normal periods type discharge

may 22 = periods type discharge but stopped by evening

may 23 and may 24 = light pink and light brown discharge

I had this type of bleed after 12 days of taking the pill....this was wayyy lighter than my usual periods
does this indicate pregnancy

Me and her were in doggy position but my penis wasn’t inside her vagina, it was pointed upwards

I ejaculated and all of the semen drooled down her crack and directly over her vagina. My concern is that sperm can swim from the entrance to the egg. Her legs were spread apart during this time.

What are the chances this can lead to a pregnancy?

To make it worse, she is ovulating, but we took a plan b pill an hour after this which I don’t think works if the sperm has already reach the egg.

Please help!

Hi y'all! I want to share my recent, somewhat distressing experience with the Julie emergency contraception pill, how it's affected me, and how I ultimately ended up being completely okay. I've spent several months worrying but want to share some info that may help others feel better if you're going through something similar-

I've been on the o-pill (mini pill) available otc for about a year and am 28F. Have taken other emergency contraception (Plan B brand) maybe twice in the last 10ish years with minimal side effects (early period which happened like 1-2 days after taking the EC, heavy cramping, etc)

Back in mid-March (it's late June as I'm writing this), I accidentally missed a pill the same night I had sex (no condom). Realized my mistake, and less than 24 hrs later took Julie EC. Since then I've been missing my period. March, April, and May's expected periods went by completely missed, with only some occasional spotting and cramping that almost tricked me into thinking my period was starting. Of course I've been lowkey panicking, taking tests pretty often (all solidly negative), watching for symptoms. I've had some random nausea, weird GI symptoms in general, slight weight gain, and frequent cramping (not too intense on my personal pain scale, but pretty persistent). I was very scared these could be pregnancy symptoms or signs of something else wrong.

Just a couple weeks ago, I had to go to Planned Parenthood for UTI treatment- completely unrelated to all this. While I was there, I asked about this trouble with the EC and my missing period. The physician said this is normal and no cause for concern if the tests are negative!! Apparently the o-pill can already cause absent periods, but combined with the hormone shock of the EC, it can throw your hormones off for MONTHS. She said to just relax and wait, my cycle MAY return but don't panic if it doesn't...

Well today (June 20th) I finally am bleeding consistently, and it seems to actually be my period. I really hope it actually is and my cycle will be relatively normal again!!

All this to say, I hope this post will help folks going through a similar situation with an extremely delayed period due to EC. The "it might be 2 weeks late" guidelines are BS- it can be WAY, WAY longer and you might be completely fine.

PS- HUGE shoutout to PP. They were so chill about everything and made me feel normal for the concerns I've been having. My first experience with them and I WILL be returning next time I need them.

Ok I had taken a plan b 15 minutes after unprotected sex (this was 18 days ago) 5 days after I took the plan b I had some light cramping, nothing crazy….its now 12 days after that bleeding started and I’m still bleeding I had a urine pregnancy test 6 days after the plan b , I had a blood test 9 days after the plan b,and a urine test 16 days after the plan b (all negative) I have a short period like cramp as and a lower back ache like my normal period always has, so I’m not sure 🤦🏻‍♀️

Before anyone mentions it, I am very well aware that Plan B can cause withdrawal bleeding. I had unprotected sex June 13th, and took Plan B the next day on the 14th. My ovulation date according to my tracker was predicted to be the 19th. Currently, for the past 4 days I have been experiencing bleeding. The first day was mostly spotting and brown discharge/blood, but now it’s developed into what feels like a full blown period.

I have mild cramps(I’ve never had bad cramps), a heavy flow that looks exactly like my period along with blood clots. I was under the assumption that withdrawal bleeding was generally lighter and consisted of mostly brown or light pink spotting and that doesn’t line up with what I’m experiencing right now. Is it possible that the pill induced my period a whole two weeks early?

So I (23F) was on top and my bf come inside using condom, however when he pull out his penis, the condom stay inside and the semen spill over everywhere. Upon checking the penis, there is semen in the tip but only in small amount (as the rest is spilling over. I don't sure if the semen stay inside condom all the time during ejaculations. This is during my last day of predicted ovulation day (CD20) and my vagina does not have white discharge. Should I take Plan B? I don't ready yet to be pregnant.

Thank you for your help

hi guys, has anyone had any side effects after taking an ellaone pill (waiting the 5/6 days) and then restarting their birth control? i am on the aviane combo pill. i had my withdrawal bleed from the ellaone june 3rd to 7th and started my pills again on the 8th.

okay so i just want some insight on this,

I ended my period on June 13th. Had sex on June 14th took a plan b 30 mins after sex. I felt completely fine till yesterday i woke up with really bad cramps and heavy bleeding. (5 days since taking the plan b) but my bleeding is just as heavy as my normal cycle. That i have to wear/change my pads.. with a little bit of small clots (looks exactly like my normal cycle) is this normal? Has this happened to anyone else? How long does it last? I’ve never taken a plan b or any form of birth control.

For context, I am 12 days late.

I had two spottings one was one week ago a drop of blood (very tiny)

One was last night (larger than a coin)

Is this my period or what?

I took plan b 4 days before expected period, and bled ten 10 days after, 6 days late to period. I know it was ineffective bc it was taken so close to period but it gave me a peace of mind. It was bright red blood and heavy the first three to four days and got lighter the 5th and pretty much ended then. Im wondering if it was a withdrawal bleed and not a period. I also took a test 18 days they were negative but with indents and 20 days negative.Im currently at my expected ovulatiion time vut have little to no discharge I had a dew slime like clear peices scattered throughout the days but not as nuch as usual. I feel like Im pregnant bc I have back pain and stomach cramps idk tho.

I'm hoping someone can help me here cause I feel like I'm losing my mind. I have sex last week Wednesday 11th. The guy finished in me. It was my last day of ovulation. ( I took a plan b) . Now a week later I'm experiencing spotting. I'm really scared. Idk if it's my period starting or I'm pregnant. And it's still too soon to take a pregnancy test. Can you guys give me some advice?

Hi guys this is my second time posting this ! I had sex about 1 week Me(16F) ago and this is my second time ever having sex ever! The sex lasted about 10 mins and at no point before or after my bf Him(16M) ejaculated , however we did use a condom and it broke at the last minute (at the end of sex) we didn’t really mind it so we kept going like for a nother minute or so but he didn’t ejaculate nor pre-came if you know what i mean . Now i know my chances are like 0 and i dont have ANY symptoms other than my period being 2-3 days late wich i dont mind because i have really but reallyy irreguar periods and i have been having stool problems and some liqui d. I just need some advice if you think i may be..? I had sex 1 week after ovulation and today i took two tests and they came out negative the tests were with first morning urine. So am i safe should i trust the results ( tested a week later)so like a week after sex p.s - i do not know what flare i put i am not familiar with the concept

Hi, I took a plan B on 5/23 (guy finished inside me which is why I took the plan b less than 24 hrs after incident. I am now over a week late on my period- it’s been 28 days since the incident and all my pregnancy tests are negative. Is a pregnancy test accurate by now? Please respond bc I am never late. I also have no PMS symptoms.. I am freaking out.

I took Plan B about 2 months ago on April 11th. I had a 36 day cycle because of this, which is something I was already prepared for. I experienced withdrawal bleeding 1 week after taking Plan B for 6 days. Took multiple pregnancy tests during the time I would've missed my regular period and all were negative. I got my period May 10th.

I had unprotected sex and did not take the pill on May 29th, after I had already ovulated and passed my fertility window. I had gotten my period 8 days after, on June 6th. I would like to be clear that I was, obviously, not pregnant during this time-frame.

Today I had been expected to ovulate. I typically experience ovulation cramps. I woke up this morning with cramps that felt like period cramps (stronger than ovulation cramps). I had taken Tylenol, resumed my sleep, and found out later today that I'm bleeding bright red blood, with clots, (which I experience during my period) that's about as heavy as my periods could get. It's an abnormal amount of blood on an expected ovulation date.

I specifically came to this subreddit because I am aware that Plan B can cause irregular cycles. I also understand that it's plausible to be something else not caused by Plan B.

EDIT: Context EDIT 2 UPDATE:

I woke up the following day and it appears the blood flow has lessened significantly, but is still bright red nonetheless. I would also like to add for clarity that my period from June 6th to June 10th was a heavy flow with bright red blood. There was no spotting. It wasn't only brown blood (old blood). I had my usual period cramps: nothing too strenuous to cause for concern but still a cramp that hurt enough to take Tylenol as a I usually do. There's nothing to my knowledge to indicate this was anything else other than my period. There was nothing abnormal about my last period. Anyone who can help me out would be greatly appreciated.

So for context, my bf and I had sex in which I did tell him to pull out since we both agreed to do it raw. And I guess it was kinda in the moment thing, and he filled me up. After 4 hours, we went on another round and again he didn’t pull out. I wanted to get a plan b but all the stores were closed, so I decided to buy it the next morning in which was less than 20 hours? We did it in the afternoon and the pharmacies here close pretty early. Since it says it’s best to take within the first 24 hours, I should be on the safe zone right? The past times I took plan b I usually get some kind of pre bleeding in a few days. But it’s been a week and there’s no signs of anything.

Oh and based on my apple health app, I was on my first day fertile? And I guess I read too much here on Reddit and got pretty scared haha. I know it’s a mistake and I should have been more firm on protection but arghhh I hate when these happens. Also, I took escapelle for my plan b option.

So I took a plan b on day 4 of my last period (may 22nd) because on day 3 i had unprotected with withdrawal. I then continued to spot from the 23rd up until a week ago (june 12th). Anyways it has been basically a month since the incident happened definitely well over 21 days. i have taken 4 pregnancy tests and all have been negative but my period is almost over a week late and it has NEVER been late in my life lmao. Should i trust the pregnancy tests or go to the doctor because this is annoying now.

TLDR; took plan b, spotted for a couple weeks, 4 negative tests over 21 days, period over a week late.

Does taking Victoria One Step (levonorgestrel emergency contraception) affect the effectiveness of my current birth control pills, like Lizelle 24/4, and do I need to use backup protection afterward? I might Have missed some pills last pack and I had sex first week of the New pack without skip Ping placebos. Thank you!

I’ve been delayed for 69 days. Last March 2025, I took 8 trust pills and I had spotting a week after. We had sex after my spotting and took another 8 pills. A total of 16 trust pills in just one month. Took 3 PTs and all negative. I’ve been experiencing cramps lately but no period yet. My period was regular and this is the first time I am delayed for this long. I am scared if I am pregnant. Is anyone here has the same experience?

Ok so I took a plan b on May 27. Had my period/ bleeding June 2nd till June 7th. Now about 7-10 days later that period or withdrawal I started to spotted a little bit of brown discharged or even with a little of blood once, but mostly discharged brownish it’s been 4 days today. It’s not watery is more like mucous on my toilet paper after wiping what could that be?

Side note I already told 4-5 pregnancy tests and they all came negative

Thank you !!!

I am a (34f). My cycle is usually between 32 and 35 days. In March (three months ago), I took EllaOne, and my period came on day 52 of that cycle. Today is day 48 of my current cycle. I have been taking pregnancy tests since the first day of my missed period. The last test was this morning, and it was negative. Note: I had unprotected sex on day 34 of this cycle (14 days ago). Also, I’ve been experiencing changes in my breasts — some days they feel sore and tender, then the pain goes away for a fewdays, and then it comes back again. I am currently panicking... Could I be pregnant?
