Plan b: how can i tell the difference between withdrawal bleeding and period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Isn't always clear: cut. Potential Side effects w emergency contraception include menstrual flow changes (spotting, bleeding, early or late period). Take pregnancy test & notify Dr if your period is 7 or > days late.
