A member asked:
I took the plan b pill twice about 2 weeks from each other, i have bled after each pill. after the 2nd one i am bleeding pretty heavy. is my body ok?

You are ok....BUT: Irregular bleeding after taking plan B is actually fairly common. Between 10 - 20 percent of all women who take emergency contraception will have some irregular bleeding. The bleeding after emergency contraception is rarely serious and almost always resolves within the month. It should not be used in place of regular contraception. You need to see your doctor for birth control!
