A member asked:

Ive have the iud skyla put in a year ago and i just had unprotected sex and i took a plan b also now a week later i'm bleeding could i be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubt it: The skyla was adequate protection from pregnancy & the addition of EC pill likely triggered a change in your cycles/bleeding. If you are really concerned a home pregnancy test would likely be positive 3 wks after exposure.
