A member asked:
Can i take plan b to delay period . my last period was 1/9 and due on 2/9 and will be on vacation on a cruise?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: That will not work at all and will probably cause irregular bleeding. Birth control pills can be used for this but not plan b.

No: Plan B was not designed for that purpose. It may or may not impact when your period is and can be associated with early or late period and bleeding outside of the period.
