Planned B failed! pregnant and nervous!

KristelFowler · October 2014

So, I took plan b 24 hours after unprotected intercourse and here I am still pregnant. Excited, nervous, concerned for the development of my baby. Will be seeing doctor soon. Anyone else take plan b and still fall pregnant?

Wishing you the best

kimmarie1105 · October 2014

That is very scary. I would be concerned about the development of the baby as well. I really hope everything turns out ok. I hope in the future you are more responsible and don't rely on Plan B as birth control.

mandi921vh · October 2014

Your baby should be fine. The purpose of plan b is to prevent you from ovulating, so either it didn't work or you were already pregnant.

mamahawk12 · October 2014

I'm sure your baby is just fine. It's not an abortion pill so it won't harm the embryo - it's meant to kick start your period and/or prevent the embryo from implanting if it's already developed. If you're already pregnant it won't do anything.

Several ladies from my A12 board have gotten pregnant despite taking Plan B and their babies are perfect. Try not to freak yourself out.

Katerina&Baby · October 2014

I wouldn't worry about the baby's development just because Plan B failed (it's just a higher dose of the same synthetic hormone contained in regular birth control pills). Further, even if you had actually conceived before you took Plan B, numerous studies have shown that taking Plan B or the pill accidentally during early pregnancy does not increase the risk of birth defects or complications (although continuing to take these during your pregnancy certainly can).

Excuse you, lol. You don't know anything about my personal situation and to make a comment like that is very judgemental. Smdh.

ARJ6511 · October 2014

Baby will be fine, don't worry.

I wish you the best and hope you embrace your pregnancy!

honeybunches101 · October 2014

I think and hope the baby will be fine. Welcome!

Im sorry if that sounds harsh to you. You stated that you had unprotected sex and then took Plan B. Yeah, I know that's what its there for, however I also think that you (meaning everyone) should take more responsibility with their bodies. Way to many people use it as a form of birth control. Maybe that's not your case. If you don't want to be pregnant than don't have unprotected sex. You are on a public forum airing your situation. Your going to receive some level of judgment. I can imagine that you are nervous being pregnant after taking it. I sympathize with that and I truly hope everything works out for you and your little bean.

atj13ne · October 2014

your little one is fine I'm sure! I have heard of this happening. Everything will buff out for you no worries!

No, she's right. You don't know what happened and she doesn't have to tell you. I do know, however, that I have used Plan B when my regular birth control method failed, and if I had talked to internet strangers about it, I might have just called it "unprotected intercourse." Because it was, ultimately, and I don't necessarily want to get into the specifics on the internet. Take your soapbox somewhere else.

@KristelFowler you should ask your doctor if you're worried, but your baby should be fine. Best wishes to you for a happy, healthy pregnancy!

S&SS · October 2014

Welcome! I hope the shock wears off and you can soon enjoy your next 8ish months with us.

kgille921 · October 2014

Plan b is specifcally designed to be healthy for a baby thats already implanted. But make sure you're taking care of you too. It can be a really emotional situation. We are here for you and I am sending lots of encouragement. Try to stay true to yourself. I agree with those that said go see your doc asap. Normally they'll try and delay a first ob appt. Until 9 weeks so just tell the scheduler that your having concerns and they should move your appt up.

Ummm no. If the condom broke and you used plan b you would not come on here and say "l had unprotected sex", for the sake of not sharing intimate details with internet strangers. That doesn't make sense.
The girl came here to vent her worries. I said I hope everything works out for her and I meant it. I'm sorry you disagree with how I "took" her post, but I'm not going to argue with you over it. So you can step if your soap box. She doesn't need a hero. She is capable of and did speak for herself.

It IS a form a birth control. So yeah, not sure what your argument is.

opheliacantswim · October 2014

So for the OP--like others have said, you shouldn't have any issues from having taken the Plan B. Also, my first kiddo was a huge surprise (I was on the pill), and I am SO HAPPY that I have her in my life. Embrace the surprise--it's going to be wonderful. Even when it sucks.

Also, @kimmarie1105, you may not have meant to be judgmental, but saying "if you don't want to be pregnant then don't have unprotected sex?" Umm, accidents happen. Nothing is foolproof. Given your holier-than-thou tone, I assume it's never happened to you--how fortunate for you.

kimmarie1105 · October 2014

@piedpiper07‌ , it's a back up form of birth control. Not meant to be used in place of traditional birth control.
@opheliacantswim‌, having un protected sex is not an accident. It's an on purpose.

kerrymarie44 · October 2014

I wish the best for you and your baby. I've taken my fair share of Plan B in my life so no judgment here and this should NOT be a judgmental forum.

On a side note, I'm going to make popcorn and follow this thread.

a5swanson · October 2014

@kerrymarie44 STOLE THE WORDS FROM MY MOUTH. Especially the popcorn part.

Oh, my bad. Clearly you know better than I what details of my sex life I like to tell strangers about. Carry on telling us all who we are and what we do in our bedrooms, then.

FWIW, OP never uttered the sentence "I had unprotected sex." She simply characterized the sex as unprotected, which in my opinion could describe an accident. Not that it's my place to care.

kimmarie1105 · October 2014

Yes, @Apollo11235‌ what you claim makes perfect sense.
Also, at this point I'm more concerned that 5 people actually "liked" the following comment:

"Also, @kimmarie1105, you may not have meant to be judgmental, but saying "if you don't want to be pregnant then don't have unprotected sex?" Umm, accidents happen. Nothing is foolproof."

I seriously have never heard a dumber comment in all my life. This can't be the mentality of this board.

clarebear300 · October 2014

The mentality of this board?????? What concerns me more is your lack of empathy, it's quiet scarey! Anyways as you said if you're going to come on a public forum you basically have to except people's opinion of you... So here is my opinion of you! I'm glad your not my friend with that ridiculous comment you made! My friends would never say some thing so judgemental! You should try have a bit of compassion and listen to what other people are saying without passing your boxed in judgment... Keeping an open mind in a wonderful thing having empathy is also a wonderful thing! You should give it a try

If you're trying to make a case for yourself as not being judgey and rude, this probably isn't the route to go.

suzysurparis · October 2014

Hey @KristelFowler‌ I don't have anything to add beyond the previous helpful comments about your pregnancy. However, from a using TheBump viewpoint, if your screen name is your real name, you should change it (you can do this easily on theknot). Internet safety yo.

opheliacantswim · October 2014

@mmmsly Thank you! Is that a Great Dane pup in your siggy? Love it!!

@kimmarie1105 Oh, you're going to be a real treat the next nine months.

Hopeful912 · October 2014

Only adding my welcome comment

Hope you're able to embrace you're surprise!

mommacandi · October 2014

My best friend used Plan B and it failed and her baby girl (my God Baby) is just perfect! Congratulations!!

courtyowl427 · October 2014

Good Luck OP. I wish you the best and hope everything works out for you. Life happens, and not matter what, you will get through this! @kimmarie1105, How is the view up there from your high horse? You have not right to judge if OP has been responsbile or not. I took plan B in college after the first line of defense (condom) failed. She tried to take responsibilty for whatever happened by taking Plan B, and that didn't work out. Get off her back.

jalex1991 · October 2014

Ladies! Can we act like it? Yes this is a public forum, but it is for real women to speak about their real issues, and if you don't have an answer for this woman's question...Keep your comments to yourself! Anywho, I think you will be fine, if anything the doctor will be able to test see some issues that may arise and discuss your options with you. Good Luck sweetie!!

veggiemo · October 2014

Stopped in to support OP.

I have used plan B before as well, because of a failed condom. Not that I need to explain why I used it, because that's completely irrelevant.

Like most PPs have said, your baby should be fine. Good luck to you and I hope everything works out.

TheAerialist · October 2014

I once used plan b because I got super drunk after a horribly bad breakup and had sex with my ex's best friend just out of spite. Yes, I was super immature in college. I am happy to report I have grown up and am a normal, well adjusted adult who is married, doesn't cheat on my husband and has a (hopefully ginger) baby on the way. I didn't need anyone (IRL or on the internet) to remind me that Plan B was not a birth control. I think for most people, that's pretty evident.

Point of divulging all this super personal information on the internet to strangers? It DOESNT MATTER if it was an accident, if it was a mistake, if it was awesome and she regrets nothing. The circumstances DONT MATTER AT ALL! I will fight every day for the right of women to prevent unwanted pregnancies from happening. If some of you on here don't want to be 'friends' with me because of my poor decision making in college, whelp, that's the price I will have to pay.

We should not judge, we should not comment, we should be exceedingly happy that we all are so lucky as to have plan B at our disposal, thank god.

(This is the part where we chant USA USA!)
