What Causes Delay In Menstruation Despite Taking Plan-B?
Question: My girlfriend took plan b about 5 weeks ago, she is about2 weeks late on her period but I read plan b can do that but now she is having white creamy discharge, but no period yet, she says she is 2 weeks late, help please I am scared
Brief Answer:
Can be due to Plan B
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If she took plan B within 24 hours of having an unprotected sex then the chances of pregnancy are very less. The delay in periods is likely to be due to the side effect of Plan B. But it is best to do a pregnancy test and confirm this. In case the test is negative then there is no need to worry. The periods will start on their own in another week or so.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

She took a pregnancy test last week after being a week late but it was at night, it came up negative so we thought we were good. So now she is having the white creamy discharge.. with no other signs, she says her weight is up a few lbs.. Does this change the situation or does it still sound like it's not pregnancy
Brief Answer:
Pregnancy not likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Slight increase in weight and white discharge are non specific symptoms and can be due to delayed periods. Do test for pregnancy again although it is not likely.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
