A member asked:

Took plan b 1step. experience withdrawal bleeding. still bleeding day 6. im expected to get period on day 7. how would i know if its my period or wb?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Plan B: w/d bleeding: If "Plan B" were taken mid-cycle, a day or so of withdrawal bleeding might occur, but not for the six days described. Plan B does not always "work". Obtain a serum HCG test to make sure you are not pregnant in about a week. If bleeding continues, see your gyn provider for an exam.
