I took plan b right after my period then 4 days later took next choice, 6 days after taking the next choice i spotted just enough to see on the toilet paper. I am now a week late for my period, my boyfiend and i may have had an accident a week after the second pill but i didnt take anything I have taken a pregnancy test 3 times in the past week but they were all negative. Is this a side effect or could i be pregnant and my HCG levels not high enough yet.

Since you took emergency contraceptive pills twice within a week, you are even more likely to experience menstrual irregularities.  However, pregnancy is also possible as the spotting you experienced may have been implantation bleeding. Repeat the pregnancy test every two weeks until you have a normal period or a positive test result. If you don’t have a period within the next four weeks and your test is still negative, contact a medical provider for an appointment. They may want to run a blood test for pregnancy.

In the meantime, either abstain from sex or use condoms from start to finish for every act of sexual intercourse. Just in case you are pregnant, eat healthfully and avoid tobacco, alcohol and street drugs. 

If it turns out that you are not pregnant, please remember that the morning after pill should not be used as a regular method of birth control as it is less effective than other methods.  If you are going to continue to have sexual contact, you may want to think about using a regular form of birth control.  If you live near one of our offices, please call us for an appointment to discuss your contraceptive options. If you live further away, contact the Family Planning or Planned Parenthood office closest to you. Good luck!
