Suggest Treatment For Vaginal Discharge And Pelvic Cramps
Question: I have had two periods since I had sex. The first was late heavy and long. The second a few days late normal but short. I took plan b the day after sex where I'm not sure if a condom was used. I had sex 13 weeks ago and no other time since then. I take birth control but I wasn't taking it regularly at the time because my prescription was expired. I feel bloated a lot and cramp before my periods. I have vaginal discharge every day. I sometimes have pelvic cramps. I took two pregnancy tests. One on day 10 of my late long heavy period and it was negative. The other was on day 5 of my late second period and was negative. Is there any way I am pregnant?
Brief Answer:
Pregnancy very unlikely; more likely to be due to effects of Plan B.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
No, I don't think you are pregnant. By the second test, you would definitely have shown pregnancy if you were pregnant.
Plan B is a high dose of progesterone. This can throw off your normal cycle for a month or two, and that is likely what is happening. It can make menstrual bleeding come early, late, be short, long, heavier or lighter. Without having normal cycles, you can have bloating, breast tenderness, and more or less cramping.
If you don't take any further Plan B, your cycles should start to return to normal by your 3rd cycle. If not, restarting your contraceptive pill should help regulate you if you were regular in the past.
If you want additional assurance, there is a serum (blood) pregnancy test, too, which you can ask your doctor for.
I hope this information helps.

Now that look at my calendar I took my second test almost a week before my period was supposed to come. Maybe more than a week prior. Could I be pregnant?I
Brief Answer:
Still ok.
Detailed Answer:
Home pregnancy tests are quite accurate by 1 week after the first day of the expected (missed) period. So it should have been accurate even with your first test, and the second test, even if it was a week before the 2nd period, should have been positive by then if it was going to be positive.
