Yes: Plan B can cause bloating and cramping. Mirena (levonorgestrel) can also do the same. Please take some Ibuprofen, it should help. The bloating and cramping should subside in a few weeks.

Took Plan B 30 hours after unprotected sex, had my mirena (levonorgestrel) inserted 2 days later. I've had horrible bloating. Will all these hormones effect my period?
