Hey! I know that many of you might be really scared, since the delay before your next period can be really exhausting and scary. I just wanted to share my experience.
My period was delayed for months. 5 months full of anxiety. I want to share this with you, because many people say Plan B only affects your cycle for a couple of weeks. This does not have to be true. I suffered from irregular periods before and one time our condom broke. Since my partner and I only use these, we were SCARED and I took a pill like three hours after it happened. Then, my period was gone. I was scared.
It‘s important u listen to the negatives. It’s important you remember that the bleeding a few days after taking the pill is probably not your real period, but indicating that the pill worked! And it‘s important you try to not stress yourself too much. My body was really behaving weirdly these five months - It is scary and uncommon. But as long as you take tests and go see a doctor eventually, you CAN be safe you are not pregnant! I suffe from severe anxiety and panic disorder. Even after a blood test I felt insecure since I smoke cigarettes once in a while.
So to all of you who are in the same situation I was in: Stay calm and give yourself time. It might take up to 5, or more, months.
Ps: I got sick during that delay, and I did take „Elotrans“ the day before my period came back. It’s (at least in germany) a medicine you take if you have diarrhea in order to fill up your bodies needs (sugar, salt,…). I don’t know if this was the reason my period started in the end - but try to go outside, take some vitamins and take care of yourself. Eat enough and rest :)
Love you all. Take care!!
