A member asked:

My period finished yesterday & i had unprotected sex today then i found bright red blood and small clots with lower backpain. do i need to take plan b?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you have unprotected sex, you must take Plan B although the likelihood of pregnancy is low at this time. When you have sex right after your period ends, it is common for sex to precipitate some bleeding and cramping.
