Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

you don't: The period is not going to stop once it begins. You could potentially shorten the period by starting the pill - the increasing estrogen is what eventually stops the bleeding in the normal cycle.

I had unprotected sex &was planning on buying the plan B pill the next day. My boyfriend and I were scared because pre-cum might have gone in. However I started my period later that night before I got the chance to the pill. Can I still take it?
