Question 1

toke plan b two weeks ago one test no but today test yes and yesterday test no? i been throwing up for 2days

Accepted Answer

Probably pregnant: May have been to early on first test. See a doctor and get a quantitative blood pregnancy test to find out for sure.

Question 2

i took plan b about two weeks ago12 hours after sex because the condom slipped at one point. period is 2 days late. did plan b not work?

Accepted Answer

Likely did work: You took Plan B well within the effective time frame for it to be effective. If you are unsure as to whether you are pregnant, a home pregnancy test can easily answer that question. There can be a lot of other reasons why your period is late, other than pregnancy. If the test is negative and you do not have your period, you should consult your PCP or ob/gyn

Question 3

i took plan b two weeks ago. a week later i had light bleeding that lasted five days, but my period wasn't due for two weeks. was that my period?

Accepted Answer

No: Most women have some bleeding about a week or so after plan B.  Make sure you check a pregnancy test about 2 weeks after using it.

Question 4

got a short, 2 day period 5 days after plan b. two weeks later, got a negative pregnancy test on day of my expected period. could i still be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: If you did not have unprotected sex since the "two day period", it is unlikely that you are pregnant. You may wish to repeat the pregnancy test in a week, if you do not get a period by then. 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, or IUD. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 5

brown spotting for 6 days. not pregnant (already tested). took plan b two weeks ago. period due next week. is this my period or something else?

Accepted Answer

Irregular bleeding: Spotting or irregular bleeding is very common, especially after taking a Plan B in midcycle. Take a pregnancy test at least 3 weeks after last unprotected sex to be absolutely sure not pregnant. See your doctor if bleeding does not regularize over the next few cycles.

Question 6

my girlfriend took plan b about two weeks ago. about 5 days before her regular period she had pink and brown spotting and now stomach pains. pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Do a pregnancy test and if positive go see a doc asap.

Question 7

late period,negative pregnancy test,on yasmin, (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol)took plan b two weeks ago. no nausea in morning, on any other signs of pregnancy. help?!

Accepted Answer

Plan B: The Plan B on top of your Yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) will alter your cycle. Keep taking the Yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) every day at the same time and you should not need to take Plan B and your cycle should straighten out.

Question 8

can i repeat plan b in two days?

Accepted Answer

You could: But the efficacy data(as in how effective it will be) isn't there are studies with repeated use aren't available.  If you need to use emergency contraception with any frequency you need to review with your doctor the possibility of more long term contraception.

Question 9

does taking two plan b pills make it more effective.

Accepted Answer

Take as directed: Pharmaceutical companies test the medications that they produce at various dosage levels to determine, which is the optimal dose to accomplish its goal with a minimum of side effects. Plan B should therefore be taken as directed.

Question 10

taking two  plan b pills in one month is it still  effective?

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. The sooner it's taken, the better it works. It contains levonorgestrel, the same hormone used in many birth control pills, just at a higher dose.
