Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
Sometimes periods are just quite irregular. Maybe the dizzy headaches and cramps are signs they will be coming soon, or it could be stress that you are worried about it.
Don't thinka about it too much, because seventeen days after ex is a long time, and it should give an accurate answer. However, if you remain ill and are still not getting your period, I suggest you consult your local doctor for further advice. xx

Hi, im new to this site and i saw your question.Ive taken plan b before and its effective if you took in the 72hrs your suppose to and it sounds like you did. Its gonna mess up your periods and hormone level for a while because of the dose of horomones in it. So id try to relax and not panic. If you dont get your next period or the one after that then id take another test and if its negative, go to the doctor.

Why the hell aren't you using any contraception?
Plan B is NOT to be used as a regular form of contraception. It is for use in emergencies only, when your other method(s) have failed (e.g. the condom breaks or you forgot to take your Pill). As you have discovered first hand, the morning after pill messes with your hormones, which is why your periods have changed. If you took Plan B within 24 hours of having sex, had a period and have produced a negative pregnancy test result then it's pretty safe to say you're not pregnant and your period should return to normal soon.
In future, don't be so stupid. If you're going to be having regular sex and don't want to get pregnant then you need to be using contraception. There are various methods available, including the Pill, patch, injection, coil and implant. Condoms are also an option but as they are less reliable than other methods, I wouldn't advise you use them as your only form of protection. It would be wise to use them in conjunction with another method to be extra safe. Of course, condoms are essential if you are not 100% sure that neither of you have any STI's (and 100% means you've both been tested since your last sexual partners, not "well neither of us have slept with anyone else...").
Here are some websites which contain information on the various contraceptives available, including side effects, how they work and their effectiveness:

Okay, you're going to get this response from someone so it might as well be me. Live by this rule: If you're old enough to have sex, you're old enough to have a baby. If you're old enough to have a baby, you're old enough to take care of a baby. If you're not ready to do one, you shouldn't do the other. I don't know how old you are, but you said "really young" so I'm going to go with saying that regardless of your love for your boyfriend or vice versa you should be more careful about getting so serious so young.
Okay, now that my lecture is over I can say that you're probably just worrying yourself to death. If you are young and have only had your period for a couple years, your period might still be off a couple days here and there. If the test said no, it said no. Don't let shows like 'I didn't know I was pregnant!' scare you- the chances of that happening is slim slim slim.
I don't know where you live or how possible it is for you to get around but you should also consider going to Planned Parenthood. Contrary to some people's beliefs it's not just for abortion services- they do general services for women and their bodies. What they don't do, they can suggest places for you to go for help.
Protect yourself. You have a lot more years to live and to have sex to mess it up now.
