Question 1

i took plan b twice in one month but haven't had my period since before i took it about 8 weeks ago. i'm not sure if this is normal or not. ?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy test: It is time that you do a home pregnancy test. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully.
If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine if you are less than 26 years old.

Question 2

took plan b twice in one month and am on birth control my periods supposed to come next week, will i get it? if i miss it does that mean i'm preg?

Accepted Answer

NO: Taking Plan B twice and also birth control pills should help you to avoid being pregnant. It depends on how many birth control pills you have missed. If you have missed more than 1 pill and taken Plan B twice, then you can get delayed period or irregular period. It is still safer to do pregnancy test when you miss your period without assuming anything. Good Luck

Plan b effect : Normally the menstrual cycle will come at the usual time although Plan B can cause some temporary cycle disruption in some users. Take a pregnancy test 2 weeks after use to verify that it worked. Consider starting birth control to avoid these scares in the future.

but, if you do 23 day cycles the risk is higher.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Plan B: Yes. Plan B emergency contraception is a backup plan that helps prevent pregnancy when taken within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex or birth control failure.

Plan B  expired: If the expiration date is on the package, that is a "sell by " date for the pharmacy, Your pill should be good for a year after the date. Check with the pharmacist. If there is any question...take another.

Question 10
