A member asked:

Had unprotected sex on(7/4) used plan b right after. woke up to blood on(7/14), expected period due on (7/21). what does this mean? breakthrough??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Side effect: of Plan B is heavy bleeding. Never use Plan B for routine contraception. It is a powerful EMERGENCY contraceptive and bleeding is expected and normal. Time to get on regular BC pills. Call your GYN for an appointment TODAY!
