Missed Your Period After Plan B? Get Expert Guidance Here
Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

I am on birth control and my partner ejaculated inside of me. I got scared and took Plan B the day before my placebo week. Today is the day I would normally get my period for my birth control, but I haven’t gotten it yet. I’m wondering if this could be due to the Plan B. Also, should I still take my birth control today as usual, or wait a week to start it if my period doesn’t come?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

It’s important to get checked out for the missing period and any discharge you may be experiencing. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for a speculum check and vaginal examination. Additionally, a blood test, urine test, and possibly an ultrasound scan would be helpful to rule out pregnancy or other underlying conditions. If you are pregnant, you can then decide on the next steps based on the results. In the meantime, continue taking your birth control as you normally would, but make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation.

Thanks
