I am in the same exact boat. I took plan B on June 26th and I woke up this morning bleeding heavily and bright red. I am not supposed to start my period until July 15th.

The start of my last period was October 24th and lasted till the 29th. I had unprotected sex on otcober 30th and took plan b the next day, about 11hrs later. Four days later i had a bit of spotting, followed by heavy bleeding. The next day the heavy bleeding continued. If it was my period it would be two weeks early. What do you think this heavy bleeding means? Am i pregnant?

I had my periods on the 7th of this month and again on 19th. I have been planning to have a baby from past month onwards. From the past 5 days , there is a brownish discharge that I am experiencing. I had called my GC an she told me that it happens due to stress. Is it normal?

I did bleed for 9 days and I know you had mentioned above that it was most likely my period, it also felt like a regular period, I'm so confused and paranoid, I will never take plan b again, going to mabe start the pill so that I don't have to worry abt things like this again.

I am now not sure when I am suppose to get my next period, as I mentioned after taking plan b I got y period 2 weeks early on May 9, I was due May 25, it is now may 12 and I still haven't gotten my period this would make me 3 days late, but since I took the plan be I'm not sure if being late is a normal side affect, I had sore tender nipples a week ago and now its all gone, so I hope I'm not pregnant, does plan b throw your whole cycle off?

Your May 9th bleeding may not have been your regular menstrual period, as Plan B also can lead to breakthrough bleeding (bleeding in-between your period, nothing harmful).
You can wait until the end of June for your period to begin, as Plan B can cause your cycle to be irregular as a normal side effect. If you are worried about pregnancy, you can take a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as a factor in your late/missed period.

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?)
