Yet another pregnancy question. I'm on the patch. Which was due to come off Saturday. And the normal period begin 3 to 4 days after. The day it came off, my boyfriend and I had intercourse and the condom broke. He did ejaculate inside me. I didn't have a plan B but was told to take a full pack of birth control pills, as that is the equivalent. I did to be safe. Its the third day and I haven’t started my period, but I’ve been having menstruation-like cramps the last two days. How worried about pregnancy should I be since I "should" be starting my period and I took the pack of pills?

*Edit* I am aware that I can get pregnant and nothing is 100 % effective.

*Would like to add that she was -told- to take that many by a midwife and an OBGYN*

First off you need to see a Dr ASAP
secondly Why did you take a full pack of birth control pills your body is sure screwed up now from taking that many pills and this might be why you are having cramps
Also just to make sure take a pregancy test and also have the Dr do one you could be pregnate

I think I would be just as worried about the whole month supply of birth control pills as much as the possibility of being pregnant. I think you should see you OBGYN ASAP. And then my a shrink to figure out why you would take a risk at an un wanted pregnancy then fill your mouth with a months worth of pills then swallow them. Good louck at both appointments.

Wait, you took an entire pack of birth control pills? You're only supposed to take three. Sweetie, you need to get to a doctor soon. You just overdosed on birth control pills, which is probably why your period hasn't started. Your body is still reeling from the overdose.

You might be stressing out on thinking about your late period so perhaps that is the reason your period might be late? You can always take EPT test just to make sure that you're not pregnant. I've been in similar situation before and my period never comes late, but this one month my period was. I was totally freaking out cause I was on the 28th day cycle and I did take the EPT just for caution and by the 32nd day - my period did come. It was weird. I must have been a little stressed out thinking about why my period hasn't startedt. Just take the EPT test. When I took the EPT the result came out negative and today is your 3rd day so hopefully you'll start later tonight or perhaps tomorrow since it'll be your 4th day right?

okay honey....do you realize how much birth control you just took...the morning after pill is equvialent to 4 days worth of birth control. Your hormones are way out of wack..give it a week and then take a pregnancy test. But just to warn you it can take up to three weeks for the pregnancy hormone to be detected...

I would be more worried about what taking a whole pack of birth control pills did to you. You must be on a severe estrogen overdose right now. Contact your doctor and get advice from someone who knows what they are talking about.

wait wait...you take a full pack of pills over a month, NOT a day. Did I understand wrong or you said that you took the pack of pills all at once? I hope not!!!! Otherwise you overdosed big time!

Hell no you're not supposed to take a whole pack.Damn girl,see a Doc!You probably won't have a period soon or it will be really weird since you took all those pills & you just really screwed up your hormone levels.Thats probably why you are having cramps.I hope you don't have any major problems.

Jesus. A WHOLE PACK? Plan B equals about 4 pills.
You aren't pregnant but you need to see a doctor NOW- taking that much estrogen can have SERIOUS effects on your body. See a doctor TODAY, even if you feel OK.
