Still No Period...

I posted in here a couple of weeks ago. I started taking Lo Loestrin Fe a month and a half ago, and bled for two straight weeks. I was also getting bladder infection after bladder infection, so I took antibiotics for it. Well, I only took them for two days (not a smart move on my part), then three days after that I had unprotected sex (also probably not a smart move on my part). I followed your advice and took a generic Plan B pill 26 hours after, and I haven't bled at all since then. I'm also still within the first three months of Lo Loestrin Fe and I've been told by my doctor that bleeding (or lack thereof) can be unpredictable. Still, the worry of pregnancy still lingers. Would there still be a high chance even after I took the pill? Should I take a pregnancy test as soon as possible?

REPORT

I should also include that I took the generic Plan B pill about three weeks ago. I was supposed to have my period two weeks ago, nothing. I did have spotting last week, but it was only for a few hours at a time.

It can be completely normal for your period to be irregular, such as just having spotting, after taking hormonal contraceptives and the Plan B pill.

Learn more Plan details here.

That said, this means that is is unlikely that you are pregnant, but if you are still worried, then by all means take a test to settle the question once and for all.

There is still a slight risk, because Plan B is most effective if taken within 24 hours and the efficacy rate goes down for each additional hour after that.

Have you had any other unusual symptoms?

I also have slight nausea at some point almost every day, that's the only other side effect I've experienced. Just took a test and it was negative, thank you SO much for your help! :)
