I Took Plan B The Week Of October 12 While
Question: I took plan b the week of October 12 while I had already ovulated and I took it right after we had unprotected sex. My period is late by 4 days it was supposed to start this week. Should I be concerned? What should I do?
Brief Answer:
emergency contraception
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query ,
If you didn't have a withdrawal bleed after 5-7 days of taking plan b on 12th; and now that its 22nd already then it would be best if you can get a serum beta hcg test done to check and rule out pregnancy conclusively due to possible pill failure.
If the beta hcg levels are less than 5mIU then you are not pregnant for sure and can safely wait for the withdrawal bleed for another week.
In the meantime can practice barrier contraception.
