Plan b side effect or actual period?
My girlfriend and I had a pregnancy scare so about 24 hours after the fact she took plan B. About five to six days after that she got what she thinks was her period but her period wasn't due for another twelve days. It lasted five days she said it was much worse than usual(not really sure what she meant by that). Anyway my question is was the bleeding actually her period or just a side effect from plan B?

Re: Plan b side effect or actual period?
Hi Helpme,
So, one of the side effects of plan B is that it can throw a person's cycle off, causing periods to arrive at odd times, and it can cause irregular or unexplained bleeding. There is no way for us to know what this bleeding was for her. Generally, we advise that someone who had a pregnancy risk and took EC still take a pregnancy test two weeks or so after using it
