Bleeding a week after plan b... is this my period? can i start taking my birth control pills?

Plan B: Emergency hormonal contraceptives like Plan B cause irregular bleeding. This is to be expected. Now is a great time to start your birth control pills so you don't have to worry about this again. Be sure to also use condoms to decrease your risk of STDs. Hope this helps.
