A member asked:
I took plan b a week ago and now experiencing what seems to be my period. when can i start on birth control? (it will be on first time)

Plan B period affect: Plan B is 85% effective so pregnancy risk is low. I would recommend that you start your pills now. . Even if you were to be pregnant, the Pill has not been found to be harmful. Every pregnancy should be a wanted pregnancy and the benefit of preventing a future unwanted and unplanned pregnancy is greater than the low risk of harm from the birth control pill.
