Plan B: often affects menstrual cycle, and can causes withdrawal bleeding earlier than when a period is due. This one of the side effects of the medication. Plan B is intended to be used as an emergency form of birth control. It is not intended for use as a routine form of birth control. Talk with your doctor about the many forms of birth control available.

Bleeding: May be due to the xtra hormone use. Check a home pregnancy test. See your doctor. All the best.
