Plan B and birth control timing Posted: 03-15-08 10:34am
alright, so i took plan b because of a
problem on the 3rd, and after that
incident my boyfriend and i thought it
would be wise to use birth control as well
as other protection. the problem is i know
that plan b throws off when you are
supposed to have your period.
i have gotten cyclessa birth control, but
i havent had my period yet, when i was
supposed to get it the 13th. yesterday and
today ive had cramping, but no blood. i
know its going to come because i usually
get stomach pains before hand but i dont
have any blood this time. plan b does give
lighter periods... do i take the birth
control now while im cramping, so it
probably wont throw off my period, or
should i wait, and have my body possibly
go through more?
and if i dont have it due to the overdose
of hormones... when should i take the
birth control then? any help would be
great... were both just really worried
because there are no signs of pregnancy
but all this showing otherwise due to plan
b is worrying us...

You can technically start the pill ANYTIME
you want, but when you start on your
period you are protected IMMEDIATELY.
You may have some spotting or bleeidng
during the first 1-2 months of BC use, but
that is normal.
