Home / Answered Questions / I had unprotected sex for the first time about 4 to 5 weeks ago. Within an hour of sexual intercourse, I took a contraceptive pill and a week to a week and a half later I got my period. I have no fatigue, or nausea, and my breasts aren’t tender. Am I pregnant? Or just over stressing my action?

If you took Plan B (the Morning after pill) and then had your period a week later it is unlikely that you are pregnant.

If you had not had your period and it was 4-5 weeks after taking Plan B or if you were having fatigue, nausea or breast tenderness it would be a good idea to do a pregnancy test.
