plan b affect on cycle
Posted: 03-02-08 23:21pm

okay so heres the story...
i am not on BC and i usually have a pretty regular
period evey 26-28 days. i got my period feb 7th and it
lasted till the 12th. however, on the 15th i had sex and the condom
broke within the first 10 minutes, he did not finish but because of
precum i took the morning after pill on sat around 1230-1 in the afternoon and we had had sex on the 15th around 10-11pm-ish so i had taken the
plan b within the first 24 hours. about a week later on the 22nd i began to have minor cramps and was bleeding..it was a red pinkish colored blood and it was much lighter then my usual periods. this on and off bleeding
sometimes a little heavier then others lasted until the 27th-28th stopped for a day and has started again but even lighter then before it is still a pinkish red color blood though. is this my period? or is this spotting before i get my period early next week if it was to come on time? im really confused i've never taken plan b before but i do know that it can mess up your cycle so im just wondering if i should even be expecting my period to come early next week at all?

any help would be great
thank you

i wouldn't be concerned, plan b can do some weird things to your body. if it's more than spotting then i would say that's your period coming early, so i wouldn't be at all surprised if you don't get it when it's due. but then again, you might get it again. there's really no telling.

Yes, that's exactly what it means. PlanB can cause spotting, an early period, even a late period. Of course there is A chance that PlanB didn't work, but you took it as soon as possible and you shouldn't have a problem. When you bought the pill, a pharmacist should of explained how many wacky things your body will do once the big dose of hormones gets through it. If you're really worried, take a test in two weeks time, but you did the right thing and you're most likely not pregnant.

Plan-B is a pill comprised of artificial female hormones, designed to prevent ovulation in emergency cases, such as the day after unprotected sex. In this way, it prevents pregnancy.
