Took Plan B After Unprotected Sex, Period Very Light, Late By A Weak. Pregnancy Chances?

Hello,
About a month ago I took plan B after unprotected sex and I received my period about a week later than normal. The period started off light almost brownish and then just had very light bleeding from there.
A month later (today) my period is about a week late, could I be pregnant? or is it just plan B messing with my cycle?

Hello,

Following taking emergency pill (Plan B), you got withdrawal bleeding after a wk. It is quite common and natural phenomena.

You may get delayed period for 1-2 weeks due to effect of the pill. Here, you need to undergo one home pregnancy test to check pregnancy status.

On negative test, you can wait for few more days to get normal period. Try to avoid mental stress and maintain genital hygiene.

Good luck. For any query, you can directly ask me by viewing my profile.
