yes i believe its a normal side effect

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.

so i should just take it as a sign that the pills worked then?

Pregnant women do not normally bleed.

sorry...jeesh...just wanted clarification....

no need to get snappy. no one was being rude to you or anything

it seemed mildly eiri was...my bad if i misinterpreted...

oh does anyone know on average how long the bleeding lasts?

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.

well counting that period its been over 35 days or somewhere around there

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.

how likely is it that i would be pregnate do u think? i mean this is the only time i have taken plan b...so...yeah

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.

well thats just it we didnt have sex. it was just because i wasnt sure what the likelyhood was of anything happening. but yeah i might take a test. but i looked everything up and here's the final thing. it was a 6 day period its been 40 days without counting that period after the pills and 46 counting it...

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!

so i dont really need to take a test? n jw...how much longer do u think it would be until my next period?

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.
