Yes, it is normal. It doesn't always happen, but it is still relatively common. It's kind of like the same as withdrawal bleeding from the pill.

hey..me again...well its been a month..or a little more and yeah. about 3/4 days after taking the pills i had bleeding for about 7/8 days, which is normal for my period. however now the period i was supposed to get after that is over a week late and im really starting to think the pills didnt work...even though they said the bleeding was a normal thing...

Here is the deal.. COUNT THAT bleeding you had for 7/8 days as a period.

The NEXT period will come based on THAT bleeding.

Most women who take plan B will have a later period the next month, that is because PLAN B resets and kinda messes up your cycle.

You ca take a pregnancy test if you want to, to ease your mind.

UNfortunately that is often normal with PLAN B.

That is why it is meant to be taken in an emergency, and not 'every month'.

You can take a pregnancy test now and it would be accurate.

IF you have sex, then you can be pregnant regardless...

You should go ahead and take a pregnancy test, it's results ARE accurate and will give you peace of mind.

PLAN B does that to your body, it causes irregularity and missed periods.

IF YOU DID NOT HAVE SEX YOU CANNOT BE PREGNANT.

No if's and's or but's.

You should know that no matter what your age is, you can go to planned parenthood or any doctor and get birth control without parental consent.

Girl- if you didn't have sex, why did you take plan b? You shouldn't do that, it's just gonna mess up your reproductive cycle. I took plan b and it messed me up just like you are experiencing.

I feel like maybe you should learn a little more about the way reproduction and birth control works before you worry yourself silly. The planned parenthood website has some really good information on it (www.plannedparenthood.org) so go there and check it out!

We can't predict that. Your body will have its next period two weeks after you ovulate... which is also impossible to predict at this point.
