Hi Anon,

I didn't have it happen to me, I was just answering one of our members question. But if you browse through the links provided in my response about, you'll find that it is a side effect of the medication.

Best of luck to you,

Rosa

KatheleenB,

Side effects of plan B include: changes in your period, nausea, lower abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, dizziness, and breast tenderness. Some women may have changes in their period, a heavier or lighter next period, or a period that is early or late. If your period is more than a week late, you may be pregnant. If you have severe abdominal pain, you may have an ectopic pregnancy, and should get immediate medical attention.

So, this early period you got is a common side effect of Plan B and you have nothing to worry about.

Best Wishes,

Rosa
