plan B pill
Ok so i had unprotected sex last thursday. Not this thursday but the last one. And i took plan B on sat morning. I took one at 3pm then 12 hrs later the other pill. My friend said that im supposed to get my period in the next 3 days and its now sunday. Like a week and a day has gone by and still no period. Whats going on? Does plan B ever fail? I mean my friend took it and she got her period 3 days later. So thats getting me really nervous ...

Your friend was wrong. You might experience spotting, or a very light period when your next one comes, but it doesn't need to happen 'three days later'. That was just her experience.
Plan B doesn't always work, and it becomes less and less likely to work the longer you leave it. Thursday to Saturday was a long time to wait. It's recommended you take Plan B as soon as possible - it's most effective if taken within 12 hours.
If you still have the information that came with your pills, you should read it all carefully, that will help answer some of your questions.

There are statistics on how well it works by day you take it (1st day after, 2nd, etc). I don't remember them since its been a while since I've had to get them but you should still be in the 80s since you took it the 2nd day, you should look it up.
Some advice for next time this happens is to go out and buy it right away so it has a better chance of working and try to buy the one single pill.
And if your the one who's buying it you already know how ridiculously expensive they are so I recommend:
. birth control pills if your in a serious relationship/ vcf (vaginal contraceptive film) the first you need a prescription and the second you can find at wal mart or Walgreens
. Condoms if your not in a relationship
O and don't freak out about this, you really won't know until you get your period or you wait a week to take a pregnancy test, if your Gunna take a pregnancy test make sure to read the instructions before you use it
