Q: 

Bleeding for one day one week after Plan B Pill

I had unprotected sex with someone that did ejaculate inside of me, just messy on his end. I took the Plan B Pill the following evening. My period was supposed to come the following day after I took the pill but it did not. Exactly one week after I took the pill, I started what I thought was period with slight cramps. I bleed for one day and then the blood stopped completely by the following morning. This has never happened. I have no idea what this means and I feel fine.

Hello BGP4865,

Welcome to the EmpowHER community. Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern.

Plan B prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation. You took the pill just a day prior to when your period was due to start. Ovulation would have happened at least two weeks earlier.

My thought is the high dose of the hormone, levonorgestrol, caused a hormonal imbalance causing you to bleed for only one day. I am not a gynecologist, and this is just an educated guess.

Call and speak with your gynecologist. If you do not see a gynecologist, contact your primary care physician for advice.

Keep us updated,
Maryann
