What Causes Delay In Periods?

I had sex the day my period was supposed to start. He came in me so I went and got plan b..and took it soon after. My period didn t come that day and I am now 5 days late. But I ve had cramps. And a brownish discharge for 3 of the 5 days. And on the 2nd day I was late I bled a little. I ve taken a couple of tests all negative. I m worried I maybe pregnant any thoughts?

HI
Thanks for posting your query .

See the day when you had sex was the day you expected your period right . So it is not the ovulation day of your period, so even if you had not taken plan B also you could have not become pregnant .

Over this you have taken Plan B , so no chance of you being pregnant .

Your delay in periods is because of Plan B tablet as it contains hormones that affect Menstruation . So don't worry your periods will start in few days .

One more advise unless you are planning to conceive use condoms while having Sex .
I find this answer helpful
