Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER.  It's not normal to bleed after intercourse.  I don't think plan b would cause this.  Most of the symptoms women do experience after taking an emergency pill are an earlier or later, heavier or lighter period.  If the bleeding does continue seeing your OBGYN would be the best.  Your cervix is usually the source of vaginal bleeding brought on by sex, enough friction during intercourse can cause bleeding. Inflammation of the cervix or some other abnormality can also result in bleeding.
