A member asked:

I took the plan b pill and got my period when i was supposed to, it was very light then got heavier and stopped after three days. is it from the pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Plan B can alter the menstrual-type 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.
