What Causes Sore Nipples And Abdominal Bloating After Taking Plan B?

Hi, just a quick question. On February 20th, I had unprotected sex so within 2 hours, I bought and took a plan b pill. In addition to that, I started upping my doses on my birth control pills. Since then, I ve spotted a very small amount as well as having slightly sore nipples and a bloated stomach. Because I was uneasy from the bloating, I took a pregnancy test which immediately came up negative. Should I wait a few days before I take another one just to be sure?

Hi, sore breasts and bloating is due to the high doses of hormones which you are taking in the former of birth control pills. So, if you have finished 21 days of the pills, you can stop taking it. Your periods will come within 10 to 14 days. If not, repeat a pregnancy test after that.
