On july 16th I had protected sex, nothing broke, but my bf is paranoid and i took plan b. On July 21 I started orhtor tri lo. On July 26th, I started my period, or atleast i thought it was? Today is August 7th and I haven't quit bleeding. It started heavy for the first three days. Then it went to normal, and it let up and i thought it was over, then it just went back to normal?

Any suggestions on what it is?

Well it's from the pill, but make sure if you are losing a really large amount of blood that you call your doc.
