A member asked:

Im told plan b can cause spotting but i have what feels like a period for 5 days now is that normal? 2 weeks before my next period? do i take a test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can cause spotting: Plan b frequently causes spotting and then irregular periods for 2-3 months. However there's also a small chance you could be pregnant so it's important to see a healthcare provider if you are still bleeding, especially if you don't have a regular period.
