Hi,
If you have been bleeding for 6 days, then it would most likely be your period (it rules out "breakthrough bleeding" which is also typical of using emergency contraception, as breakthrough bleeding is more like spotting or bleeding that is light and only lasts a day or two).
Women typically get their period a week early or a week late when using Plan B, but there is a range of differences that your period starting two weeks early is perfectly fine, too.
There are many factors:
- If you are using hormonal contraception or not
- History of periods (if they are irregular or regular, for instance)
Possible concerns would include:
- Painful periods
- Excessive bleeding (soaking through more than one pad or tampon every hour)
- Bleeding that lasts more than 7-10 days
Keep an eye on your period, and if any of the above possible concerns do happen (or are happening), it would be a good idea to call your doctor (do you have a Gynecologist?)
