Plan B and Pregnancy

[oneexcitedlamb.livejournal.com]

I know I'm being slightly paranoid because I watched the movie Knocked Up last night, but I'm really worried that I'm pregnant.

I had unprotected sex on April 21(2am), took Plan B on the 22nd (12noon.) Got my last period April 29th. It was the heaviest period I've experienced in my entire life. I had unprotected sex June 1 (12:30am.) Took Plan B on June 2nd (9am, so about 32 hours later.) I was on Day 33 of my cycle when I had the sex and day 34 when I took the pills.

I know that Plan B can delay when a period comes, but it is possible that I could be pregnant? I experienced some spotting briefly yesterday, and I've had these weird menstural cramps on and off since I've taken the pills. But I'm also wondering if my period is late (and may potentially be lighter) because I took Plan B two months in a row.

I know Plan B is not birth control (I am getting my IUD, conveniently enough, during my next period), but I'm afraid that I could be that small percent chance of being pregnant.

Help?

typically a woman ovulates 14 days after the first day of her period[this is based on a 28 day cycle]. it can vary depending on your average cycle length. so based on that, it's unlikely that you are, in fact, pregnant.

Plan B is effective up to 2 hours after the instance of unprotected sex.


However; if you are taking Plan B regularly, you should consider a regular form of birth control. There are many different options out there.

"Plan B is effective up to 2 hours after the instance of unprotected sex"
