A member asked:

I took plan b and had spotting, when should i be getting my regular period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It varies: It is comon to have some spotting after plan b, and sometimes the timing of the next period is irregular. You should have your period within an month; if not, it is important to make sure you are not pregnant.
