A member asked:

I am having breakthrough bleeding after 5 days of taking plan b...does it indicate that i am pregnant?

Irregular menses: Irregular menses/heavy bleeding/delayed menses(>7days)/lower abdominal pain are common side effects of plan b.If you took the Plan B within 72 hours of unprotected sex then the possibility of pregnancy is low. Do a pregnancy test if worried. See your doctor to discuss which birth control is right for you(plan b should not be used as routine contraceptive) practice safe sex (use condoms).Take care.

No, likely a side : Effect. Potential side effects with emergency contraception can include: tender breasts; changes in menstrual flow (spotting, bleeding, early or late period); loose stools; dizziness; headache; nausea/ vomiting; abdominal discomfort / cramping or feeling tired. If you develop chest tightness, difficulty breathing, swelling of lips, mouth, throat – call 911. Take a pregnancy test & notify your dr>.
