Question 1

i took the plan b pill a week ago and now i'm bleeding. at first it was spotting and now it's darker.  my period is due in two weeks. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Progesterone: Depending on where you are in your cycle when you take Plan B, you can have bleeding after taking this medication, so bleeding and/or spotting can be normal reaction to it. Having said that, it can also throw off the timing of your normal cycle.  Make sure if you don't want to become pregnant that you use protection, because you may not know what your normal cycle is like for 6-8 weeks.  Best luck

Question 2

hello im 28 years old i have been have two periods in a month for about 6 months i have been taking plan b i think at least 4 times in the last 6 months and the most recent was a week ago. i had my period 3 weeks ago and now im bleeding again?

Accepted Answer

: You appear to be using plan B as a regular form of contraception. Not what it is designed to do. This needs to be addressed with your OBGYN to get your cycle back on track. Discuss your options for conventional contraception.

Question 3

gf got period two weeks early after plan b. bleeding was just like a period. now she hasn't had it for a month since. normal?  she has no symptoms

Accepted Answer

Plan B: The plan b pill is hormonal. This can alter your normal cycle, your period may be irregular this month. If there was unprotected sex, be on the safe side and have a pregnancy test done.

Question 4

i was on depo,been off of it for two months now, i had no period while on depo, two weeks ago i took plan b,  now cramping and bleeding is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal problem.: Your body responding to a change in hormone levels. After about three months, if your regular periods have not resumed see your doctor. However, if the bleeding is heavy and/or persists for more than 7 days, see your doctor sooner.

Question 5

45 w/ irregular periods. took plan b pill 10 hrs after sex.  five days later heavy bleeding for two days. bleeding normal now. do i need preg test?

Accepted Answer

Probably should: You likely are fine but it is not 100% effective. So, while you likely are not, after about 2 weeks from the event, I would take one to be sure.

Question 6

i took the plan b pill three weeks ago and then started what seemed a period two weeks ago, i'm still bleeding very heavyly. what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Check preg test: First step is to check a pregnancy test and confirm that Plan B worked. If positive you will need to see your doctor right away. If negative then schedule a routine visit to discuss more effective birth control and options that would help with menstrual cycle control. The first period after Plan B is often a little off. Many patients take Ibuprofen to help with cramping and to cut down bleeding.

Question 7

i've been on my period for two weeks. i took the plan  b pill and got my peiord about 6 days after taking it. i'm still bleeding should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Plan B: You can expect unscheduled, irregular bleeding for days to weeks after using Plan B.  Plan B is good at preventing pregnancy, but has bad bleeding side effects.  Check a pregnancy test, then make an appointment to see a gynecologist (such as myself in West Jordan), as soon as possible to get a more tolerable long-term contraception plan.

Question 8

i haven't gotten my period in 2 months. i took plan b 1 week ago cause of unprotected sex and now i'm bleeding.. is this my period?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Plan B will often cause irregular bleeding and start a delayed cycle.  I would still check a pregnancy test just to be sure.

Question 9

i took plan b a month ago and had my period last week. it stopped for a day started back up ended for a few days and now i'm bleeding again. ?

Accepted Answer

This is not uncommon: after Plan B. It alters your hormones and the effects can be seen into the next cycle or more. Have you (hopefully) started some form of reliable contraception, such as the pill or implant? This could also be playing a role. I wouldn't worry unless changes persist after a couple more cycles. Discuss any concerns with your Doctor. Good wishes:)

Question 10

i took plan b two weeks ago. a week later i had light bleeding that lasted five days, but my period wasn't due for two weeks. was that my period?

Accepted Answer

No: Most women have some bleeding about a week or so after plan B.  Make sure you check a pregnancy test about 2 weeks after using it.
