A member asked:
Planb withinin 72hr, heavy bleed 6 days after, is this considered your period even if a week early?trying to determine if its period vs side effect!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typical with Plan B: Plan b essentially disrupts the normal menstrual cycle by blocking or delaying ovulation. That it is how it works and why it is so different than a medical abortion. Irregular bleeding after taking Plan B is not rare. Always check a pregnancy test after using Plan B and see a doctor for birth control. You may not know if it's Plan B bleeding or your cycle because the cycle was disrupted.
