Normal side effects: Plan B, is hormonal emergency contraception you take within 72 hours after unprotected sex. (no matter how much) It contains a high level of hormones that interfere with the implantation of a fertilized embryo. It should not be used regularly as the levonorgestrel can have side effects including cramping, nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, irregular bleeding, breast pain.

Unclear question: If you miss your period by 4-5 days, do a home pregnancy test. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions carefully. Wish you good health! If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. Consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine,
