A member asked:

Is light bleeding with small clots 5 days after taking plan b a good sign? do i consider this my "period"? i haven't had one since birth on 3/1...

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Plan B: It might be your period or it could just be bleeding as a side effect from Plan B. The presence or absence of bleeding does not determine the effectiveness of Plan B.
