emergency contraception
"My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex on 2/5 around 8:00pm. The condom broke and I was not sure whether or not I fully pulled out, so we paniced, went out to CVS, and bought plan b 30 minutes later. Her last period was on 1/15 but she does not track her period and usually they are irregular so being a really sensitive boyfriend, I completely lost my mind thinking only about the hypotheticals and negatives for the next few weeks to follow. She started spotted about 5 days after taking the pill and the side effects that followed included breast tenderness and she complained about being very tired very often. I'm not sure whether or not the symptoms lasted for more than a week, but she finally got her period today on March 5th. (51 days after he last period and 30 days after taking plan b). It completely distorts a woman's cycle and while I understand that my panicking was not uncalled for, it definitely affected my ability to think straight. If you take the pill within the instructed time frame and are under the weight limit, you will be great. Now to start a birth control regimen lol. Also, I reached out to a bunch of friends who were in these same situations, and more than half of them had their girlfriends get their periods at least 4-5 weeks after taking the pill, so a delayed period is completely normal. Good luck everyone, hope this review was informative and reliable."
