Hello,

So 5 days after taking plan b I had what they say is called a breakthrough bleed. It's was pretty heavy like a period but only lasted for 3 days. Im confused if that could of been my period but my period wasn't due for another 2 weeks. Now it's 2 weeks later and I'm 2 days late with my period. My question is could that have been my period or if that was in fact a breakthrough bleed does that mean my actual period will be a little late?

Hopefully someone could help me out!!!

Hello Ashleyyy1424,

Welcome to EmpowHER.

The breakthrough bleeding was proof the pill worked and you did not become pregnant.

Changes in the menstrual cycle are a side effect. Your next period could be delayed as a result.

Regards,
Maryann
