A member asked:

If i took plan b right before i was supposed to get my period, how long will it be till i get my next period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to guess: Plan B can alter the menstrual bleeding for the cycle in which Plan B was taken, and sometimes the next cycle too. One should be sure to check a home pregnancy test about 3 weeks after sex, because Plan B works most of the time, but not all the time.
