Could I Be Pregnant Due To Unprotected Sex After Taking Plan B?
I took plan b a month ago (two days after unprotected sex), 8 days before ovulation, but then had unprotected sex the next 12 days after plan b. My period is a week late and my breasts have been sore. I took 2 first response early result tests 1 day before my missed period and they were negative. Could I be pregnant?? I have a blood test scheduled for two weeks from now.

Hello, thanks for writing to HCM.
The emergency contraceptive pill is to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse, the earlier the better. You seem to not have used any protection for the times after, raising a possibility for conception.
A home pregnancy test can be done the week after your missed period dates for reliable results.
Now that it has been a week since your missed date, you must test again.
In case of a doubtful test, I would suggest a blood B-HCG or pelvic ultrasound.
Hope this has been helpful.
All the best.
