hi,about a month ago ,just two days after my period ended i had sex with my boyfriend,the condom broke,the next day we went to buy the plan b pill,i took the first pill,right away like 30 minutes or so i started bleeding,then the next day i took the second pill,i started to bleed more,in total i bleed like for four days,it seem like a normal period,now its june 30th im a cycle of 28 to 30 days ,on friday i took a pregnancy test it came negative,then yesterday i took another one it was negative so.Many people have told that because of how much i bleed for the pill it can cause that my period to come late,i have also read on the plan b web page that planb can make you period come a week late and if not you have to consider pregancy.
i dont know what to think,the tests came negative,so should i consider that because of the bleeding that i had after i took the plan b is the reason why my period is late ?

It's been a month, you're still testing negative, it wasn't during your most fertile time, you took the plan B right on time. I think it's a lot more likely that plan B has disrupted your cycle than that you are pregnant.

Also, you just have to assume, any time you take Plan B, that it's going to affect your cycle in some way. It's a mega dose of hormones, which, when you think about it, since the pill screws up your body seven ways from Sunday anyways, then you're loading up on a ton more in Plan B, then it's going to screw it up even more. So.... it really shouldn't be too much of a surprise that you're having these problems. Sometimes after taking it, it can take a cycle or two to get back to normal. Just how it goes. I think it just depends on where in your cycle time you actually took it, on how badly it will affect your body, not to mention your sensitivity to the hormones. Some women's bodies just don't react well to fake hormones at all, so there's that to consider, also.
