I am very consistent in taking my birth control pill at the same time everyday. I did however take it two hours later this cycle and had unprotected sex. I am now 3 days late but all pregnancy tests are negative. I did however take plan b the cycle before could that be why it’s off? I’m so nervous I don’t want to be pregnant.

two hours late doesn’t make you unprotected on any pill. please please please read up on your leaflet as it sounds like it is causing you unnecessary stress surrounding pregnancy or even use condoms until you fully understand xx

It’s not unprotected if you’re using the pill correctly - the pill is your protection, it’s just condomless. The pill is far more effective at preventing pregnancy than emergency contraception. Plan b works by stopping ovulation, if you’re using the pill correctly you already do not ovulate so the plan b will do nothing, except potentially cause unwanted side effects, which you’re likely experiencing now. Irregular bleeding is a potential side effect of plan b but it’s also normal to experience irregular bleeding at any time on the pill. There’s an emergency contraceptive pill called EllaOne which actually decreases the effectiveness of the pill and the pill decreases the effectiveness of it so if you had taken that you potentially actually increased your risk of pregnancy, not decreased, so it’s important to educate yourself and consult a pharmacist when taking emergency contraception.

I used plan b not Ella one. That’s what I’m guessing is why I don’t have a period this month is because of the plan b the previous cycle
