What Causes Late Periods After Usage Of Plan B In Previous Cycle?
Question: Hello. My SO and I had unprotected sex about a month ago. I took plan B the following day. We had sex multiple times after that through the following week. We used a condom on most occasions but on a couple, we didn't. He didn't ejaculate in me. After taking the plan B (about 3 days later) I had bleeding. It lasted about 3 or 4 days and felt like a normal period. I am now a week late for my period. During the week that I was supposed to have my period, I had period like symptoms but it never started. Now I'm a week late and I'm still experiencing weird symptoms. I have gas and cramping after eating, my breasts are slighty sore. I've take multiple home pregnancy tests, they've all been negative. I'm concerned.

Do not be concerned.
With multiple negative pregnancy tests, you are not pregnant.
Do you always have regular cycles ?
The reason for the delay in your cycles is the Plan B.
It can prepone or postpone periods by upto a week or more.
Wait it out, you should have a period in the coming week.
All the best.
