I had unprotected sex and took the morning after pill about 22 hours later. I had my period a few days later which was light. But now I’m worried because it looks as if I have a baby bump but I’m not sure. Could I be pregnant??

If you had a period after the Plan B, it is unlikely that you are pregnant. Plan B may make your period come earlier or later than usual. Your period may be lighter or spottier than usual.  It should return to normal next month. Your “baby bump” may be due to bloating, gas or recent weight gain.

While the Plan B is very effective, especially when taken within 24 hours after unprotected intercourse, it is not 100%. Plan B prevents pregnancy by delaying ovulation. It does not terminate an already existing pregnancy, nor does it harm an existing pregnancy. If you have be having unprotected sex, and became pregnant prior to this incident, taking Plan B would not make any difference.

For more information and peace of mind, you may want to perform a home pregnancy test.
