Question 1

Accepted Answer

Spotting: I can not tell you how long you will have spotting/ bleeding for, but  menstrual flow changes/ irregularities can occur with Plan B one step.

Question 2

hello, if i have vomited after taking the plan-b one step pill 8 hours ago, should i repeat the dose?

Accepted Answer

No: 8 hours was plenty of time to absorb the dose.  Repeating it would only tend to aggravate the nausea without providing any additional protection.  Plan b is better than nothing but is no substitute for using adequate birth control in the first place.

Yes, and no: Yes, young women (younger than 17) can take Plan B and yes it's definitely safe.  Plan b is progesterone, a hormone that your ovaries have been making all along.

May change your cycle around when you take it, but no harm.
