A member asked:

Is it bad to only bleed on one side of tampon?

That happens: sometimes. The tampon doesn't always absorb tissue & fluid evenly.

I took Plan B 5 days ago within 48 hours of unprotected sex. Partner did not ejaculate inside. Today I had heavy, dark bleeding that filled a regular tampon in a very short time. Now the bleeding has subsided. Was it spotting or a Plan B side effect?
