What Causes Delayed Periods Post Intake Of Plan B?

Can someone help me! So my last period was August 20-26 and I had sex with a condom on the 26th. The condom didn’t break or slip as far as my bf and I know. Just to be safe I took Plan B on August 27. On September 1 I had really bad cramps and bled like a period for 5 days, but that’s almost 3 weeks early to be my normal period. I do however have typically irregular periods and have missed a period here and there from time to time, but for the most part they are about 34 day cycles. It’s now November 6 and I still haven’t gotten my period. I’ve taken 4 pregnancy tests and they’re all negative but I’m still a little worried. I don’t have any symptoms except my boobs just started to hurt today but I’m thinking that’s my period finally coming soon I hope! My stomach is also still completely flat! Anyone have any ideas??

Hi,

Plan-B mostly is followed by withdrawal bleeding within 8 days of intake ...normal period is delayed by a week & normal periods resume in a couple of months.

The irregularity seems to be exaggerated due to your habit of irregular menses. Breast signs are due to hormonal imbalance after plan B.

As you had two contraceptive devices used while the sex referred to in the query...also pregnancy test is -ve. (provided you had unprotected sex in between...).. there is no possibility of conception.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
