Is It Possible To Get Pregnant By Protected Sex Despite Being On Plan B?
Hi, I took the plan b pill on the 9th of April. About 5 days later I got what I thought was my period. I was normally supposed to get my period on the 30th of April but I haven't. I'm just wondering if I was supposed to get it when I normally would have, or if bleeding after I took the pill kind of reset my cycle?

Hi, I understand your concern.
It is not possible to get pregnant with a protected sex with plan B pills taken within 72 hours of sex. Yes, your guess is correct. In the protected sex, scanty bleeding that followed plan B was withdrawal bleeding & your normal period was postponed due to plan B hormones. Usually it is postponed by about 8 - 10 days. Thanks.
