Plan B (Levonorgestrel) Pill Please Help! First time taking and I’m terrified!

3 Upvotes

Hi, I never post on here but I genuinely need to ease my mind because I am absolutely petrified. I (18F) just started college where I met my boyfriend (18M) and we've been dating for 2 months now. I'm not on any type of birth control but we always use condoms. We did it on Oct. 10th, 21st, and 24th, using condoms on all these dates. I then got my period on Oct 21st and my last day was on the 25th. My cycle is pretty regular and usually around an estimated 28 days.

On the 27th we did it again but the condom broke and it wasn't until after he pulled out that he found a hole in the now significantly empty condom. Within 7-8 hours I took an Aftera / Plan B pill (I don’t know if brands make a difference). I feel nauseous and anxious but mostly terrified of getting pregnant which absolutely cannot happen at all costs. Please tell me what the chances are that I can get pregnant, and other precautions I can take to prevent it. This is literally my worst fear.

I also know these pills don't work when you're over a certain weight, I'm 5'8, around 135lbs/60kg. Please ease my mind. I just need to be told that there’s nothing to be worried about right now…

Plan B (Levonorgestrel) Pill second period late after plan b

2 Upvotes

late period after plan b

i took a plan b (august 30th) there was no ejaculation i just took it because the condom broke and to be safe. (september)My period came on time but it was shorter than usual as well as lighter.
Some days afterwards I decided to take a pregnancy test because i was just overthinking the length of my period, and it came out as negative (this was 21+ days after last encounter so i would think it was reliable)
My period is 9 days late, 3 days in i took another pregnancy test, negative, on the one week mark of my period being late I took another one, negative as well.
I just want to know how long did it take for some of you guys?

Plan B (Levonorgestrel) Pill How long should nausea last?

2 Upvotes

I took Plan B exactly one week ago and the same day I had nausea, hot flashes and a panic attack. It’s been a week now and I have nausea usually at night but I have it now after lunch too. I also have hot flashes mostly at night too. How long will this last? My period is supposed to start on November 5th and obviously I’m freaking out.

Plan B (Levonorgestrel) Pill Actually don’t know what to think

• Upvotes

Hi everyone! I took a plan b for the first time last night and I was wondering what on earth to think in terms of ovulation because I have no idea what that would be in relation to my cycle and I’m stressed. Let me explain.

I take the Nikki off brand yaz combo pill and the most I’m ever “late” is a couple of hours (which I know is covered by it being a combo pill). My latest script was filled late so I started my pills a couple days late on my new pack by default. My withdrawal week from my previous pack started on the 16th after my last pill on the 13th and I resumed taking pills on the 20th (should have been the 18th). Anyways had unprotected sex (pulled out) now on the 24th thinking I had been covered on my next pill pack for a week (instead it was only 5 days). I didn’t come to this conclusion until last night and took a plan b around 68ish hours after the encounter. I have been taking my bc correctly since last Tuesday.

My question more so stems from is it possible to have ovulated in that time? I’m used to not from being on the pill and am unsure on how missing those two pills changed my cycle. Anyone have any similar experiences or advice?

Plan B (Levonorgestrel) Pill Plan b - Symptoms day by day - Please share your experience

1 Upvotes

Hi all!

So I had unprotected sex last Tuesday (7.5 days ago), both times he pulled out, the second time was 6 hours after the first. I have had quite an array of symptoms since I took plan b (1st time for me!!) and I am reading some horror stories here about insane cramping bleeding and pain months afterwards and am a little terrified.

Thursday (35-40 hrs after the first sex) I took a plan b - Postinor 2 little pills.
Friday: Cramping, severe fatigue and dissociation
Saturday: Diarrhea, severe fatigue and dissociation (started feeling very sick but sore throat maybe not related)
Sunday: Extreme hunger, Fatigued but feeling better, some back pain but nothing out of the ordinary
Monday: Extreme hunger, feeling much better, TIRED
Tuesday: Energy is coming back, very very hungry, back pain !
Wednesday: Energy is coming back, emotionally feeling slightly normal, side cramping at ovaries, lower back pain, SPOTTING bleeding brown and rust color DAY 1

Can someone share what I should expect for the rest? Will I be okay?

(Will update the rest as I go, I am worried I will bleed forever and my period will be super heavy AND SOME SORT OF ECTOPIC PREGNANCY ARISES)

Also - I think the chances of pregnancy are unlikely but I am quite an anxious person and am dating someone (not the person I slept with) (non-exclusively for now, but I think I may be ready to commit to something more serious soon - we don't live in the same country, but maybe soon). - and if anyone is curious it may have been the best ONS of my life so this stress will be worth it as long as the symptoms stay minimal.

Plan B (Levonorgestrel) Pill Plan b pcos

1 Upvotes

Hello,

So, I’ll jump straight to it, we had sex with a condom on, I wasn’t that hard when i came, after i came, i pulled out and the condom got stuck, with maybe some semen dripping outside. The condom’s opening was on the outside of the lips, but worst case it was cum that got on the lips. We were concerned the next morning, so we took a plan b within 8 hrs.

She has PCOS, and the app showed it was her first day (sex happened at night, start of that day). After taking plan b, she didn’t have any symptoms, spotting etc. We are concerned, and don’t know what to expect. Please help!

Plan B (Levonorgestrel) Pill pregnancy scare

0 Upvotes

My boyfriend and I had sex, but unfortunately, the condom broke. He did not ejaculate during sex, although he had ejaculated about four hours earlier and thinks he urinated before we had sex.
During sex we saw that there was already precum in the condom. When we noticed that the condom had broken, he did not see any white fluid in my vagina, although we understand that this does not necessarily mean that no fluid entered it.

My menstrual cycle is usually around 29 days, and my period ended about six days before we had sex. According to my period-tracking app, I was approximately four days away from ovulation, although I know that the app cannot predict ovulation with complete accuracy.

Because we were worried about pregnancy, I took Plan B approximately 27 hours after sex. I understand that it works mainly by delaying ovulation and cannot guarantee that pregnancy will be prevented.

What is the likelihood that I could become pregnant in this situation?

Copper IUD Copper IUD -- is it worth it for my situation? Do you think I'm at high risk?

0 Upvotes

23F, So I made a naive and stupid decision this weekend by having sex without protection during my fertile window. For reference, I have a very regular cycle that lasts anywhere between 26-29 days, and my period lasts 6-7 days. I use the Flo app to track my cycle, however I have never tracked my ovulation using home tests before, so the estimates are purely from the app's algorithm.

My timeline for the month:
-- 10/10 period started
-- 10/16 period ended
-- 10/18-10/24 my predicted fertile window
-- 10/22 my predicted day of ovulation
-- 10/24 the day I had unprotected sex

First, we had sex without a condom until he finished on my stomach. He pulled out with enough time for nothing to end up inside of me at all. Then he went to the bathroom, peed, and washed himself off with soap and water and we took a break. Then we had sex a second time, except this time we put on a condom. However during the middle of it, the condom slipped off and got lost inside of me, and had to be fished out. He did not ejaculate at all the second time, so my main concern for this entire night is whether or not his precum can make me pregnant. I do believe I was still in my fertile window as I was plenty wet/had EWCM.

The morning after on 10/25, I took a plan B one step. It caused me to have some nausea and cramping but I feel completely normal since.

My main concern is whether or not I had been ovulating during the time I had sex. If I ovulated days before, and the egg had long disintegrated, then I had no risk to begin with. If I ovulated the day after having sex, then the plan B hopefully extended my ovulation long enough for any sperm inside me to die off. However, if I had sex during the 12-24 hour window of ovulation, then the plan B will not help at all and I could get pregnant.

I have no clue when I ovulated, so I'm afraid the plan B will just end up being useless. I have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow (4 days after sex) to get a copper IUD, however I'm also nervous that this too will be pointless. I'm probably done with ovulation by now as my discharge has dried up and I no longer feel horny/aroused as much, but that's just my guess.

I'm just so afraid that even after I go through the pain and potentially traumatic experience of getting the copper IUD that it will still be for nothing because my egg may have already been fertilized. Everything I've read online states that the copper IUD is not necessarily proven to prevent implantation, and that its main function is preventing fertilization. What if I'm already past that point?

I am completely torn apart over this and could use anyone's thoughts or guidance. I know that he never ejaculated in me at all, so my risk lies in whether or not his precum contained any sperm, so that hopefully helps my case. And I know I made such a stupid mistake that I never will again, but I need to know whether it will really be worth it to get this procedure tomorrow. I'm so afraid it's too late. Anyone with a similar experience that can share?
