I Took A Plan B

I took a Plan B and I am very angry about it. During intercourse with this person, I practiced safety and we used a condom but somehow it broke. I did not believe him when he said it just broke, I'm not sure if he broke it himself. But nonetheless, to be safe I took a Plan B. It was the first and last time, I had never needed to take one before. When people talk about taking plan B's, they make it sound so easy. Like there is no pain involved, but there was so much pain when I took it. Maybe other girls can chip in and tell me if this is normal. I had the worst cramps, and I was very nauseous for three days. I am also not on birth control; I don't know if that counts for anything. To me, these symptoms all seemed like pregnancy symptoms. Trust me I googled a lot. But I knew I was not pregnant because I took the plan B 30 minutes after the incident took place. It really scared me.  

After that, I found the person I was intimate with very unattractive. Everything he did irritated me, and I felt like he had betrayed me in some way. Especially since he only checked on me once and he was pain-free. He was well for three days, while I felt like I was dying. I have never had to take a Plan B with any other partner because I am always safe. I am also new to intercourse, so I do not have many partners and I don’t want many partners. He was the worst person I've ever interacted with, so this heightened my anger. I was nauseous, and throwing up, and my cycle changed. All this and the sex wasn’t even good. I also didn't like the fact that I had taken that medicine. It really made me focus more on choosing the right person to sleep with; I take whom I sleep with very seriously. I lowered my standards once and look what happened. I knew if I had a baby with this person I'd be very ashamed of myself. I do not ever want to feel like that again.
