A member asked:

If you take the plan b pill too often what can possibly happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"Plan B": "Plan B" has hormones to help prevent pregnancy implantation in the womb, but effectively, if used repeatedly, one can have symptoms of elevated hormones, like water retention, breast tenderness. Plan B can act similar to birth control pills, but should not be relied upon to stop pregnancy, since it is not used continuously.
