Took plan b pill, is it normal to have severe cramping and heavy, heavy bleeding?

Yes: Everyone's bleeding is different and if you are soaking 3-4 pads per hour, you should contact your doctor or go to the er. To make sure you have nothing to worry about, see your doctor for ultrasound and/or pregnancy test in the next week.

How heavy?: Emergency contraceptive symptoms can include spotting or bleeding, changes in menstrual flow or your period may be late or early. However, if you are actually hemorrhaging - that warrants prompt medical attention. Take care.
