HI,
I understand your concern.
Birth control pills can delay your period if taken in mid cycle. The bleeding usually starts within 8 days of stopping the pills.
Plab B prevents conception by postponing ovulation. It's effective when taken within 72 hours of sex. ( earlier the consumption, more are the chances of prevention of pregnancy.
Being a high dose hormonal preparation, it delayes/ disturbs menstrual cycle by roughly 8-15 days.
In your case, as you are taking both contraceptive pills & plan B too- you need to wait for menses till 8 days after stopping the oral contraceptive pills./ If you had started oc in mid cycle.. you may produce temporary hormonal disturbance & irregular periods.
In such case _ ve pregnancy test after 8 days of expected mense date should assure you of no pregnancy. Wait for periods to start & start using new pack of OC from 5 th day of cycle.
thanks.
