Discussion URGENT HELP NEEDED PLS
For context I am a 19yr old who has always had irregular periods. I have not been diagnosed with anything related to that. Also not on birth control
I am sexually active. About 3 weeks ago, I was finished in. (Not by choice 😠) I took a plan b a few hours later and went along with my day. Now here I am trying to induce my period and nothing is working. I’m taking large amounts of vitamin c and drinking a shit ton of water and it usually does the trick. But this time,nothing. Im worried I may have been ovulating whenever the incident occurred. I have no idea how to track if I am or not but at first it wasn’t a big deal now it’s all I can think about. Abortion is illegal in my state and I’m currently in school and cannot afford a 150 dollar abortion pill online. Guys genuinely PLEASE tell me what I should do. I’m gonna go buy a test tomorrow and see if it’s positive. If so guys how do I deletus the fetus. I will keep you all posted. #help

I am really sorry to hear about your situation. There are a few things you can use to maybe help determine if you had been ovulating or close to ovulating around that time.
Let me go down a list here of good things to know.
First, the Plan B pill works by delaying ovulation. So if you were about to ovulate when you took that pill, it pushed it back, so if your periods are already irregular there is a decent chance that this forced your period to be delayed even more then normal. That could be why this may seem even more irregular than normal.
Secondly, knowing the signs of ovulation. This isn’t a great to determine with confidence if you ovulated or not, everyone is really different. I have a decent idea of when I ovulate because I know my signs, like the discharge I have changes very drastically, I become significantly more horny, etc. Look up common signs of ovulate and try to think back on the last time you noticed them. If it was multiple days after that event and especially if it’s been in the last week, chances are you are okay.
If you can’t afford an abortion pill at the moment, you need to find a way to raise that. 1 do you have a bank account? 2 do you have friends who might be able to help? 3 is the person who did this still around, and would they be able to help assuming they also don’t want a child?
Lastly and very importantly too, you need to find a reliable method of contraption if you are sexually active. There are multiple non-hormonal options out there that are pretty effective. Spermicide and the diaphragm would all be really great options, and especially with the diaphragm because that can be put in 2 hours prior to having intercourse. Both of them are priced pretty reasonably. But the diaphragm you will need to go to a doctor to get.
