"on july 1st, i took plan b one step 44 hours after sex where a condom failed. i took the pill 5 days before expected period. i had no spotting or major symptoms, was just a little tired after i took it. my period was supposed to start on july 6th, and it was 10 days late, and started on the 16th. i&#039;ve never been happier to see my period! my cramps were awful but i am sure thankful for this pill. don&#039;t be scared if your period is over a week late, i stressed so bad and had every right to but it can definitely be later than that. just give it time and take a test if you&#039;re scared!"
