I've taken the Plan B pill several times in the past, and every time I've gotten a 'withdrawal bleed' that was exactly like a period about 3-5 days after taking it. I've always wondered, does getting this bleed mean that you are definitely not pregnant?? I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere.

Hello and thank you for choosing EmpowHer,
October 25, 2015 - 11:18amSpotting for a few days after taking emergency contraception is a normal side effect. Whether you get this side effect or not, you can assume the medication was effective as long as you took it correctly. The instructions on the box of which ever emergency contraception you take will clearly state the side effects you should except and the directions. Be sure to read both before to know what to expect.

Right, I know that the withdrawal bleeding is a common side effect of Plan B, because I've gotten it every time. What I was wondering was, if you are having bleeding of any kind (as in withdrawal bleeding) does that in itself mean that your body is not pregnant? I did take the Plan B as directed, but I'm asking because I did have unprotected sex a few other times this month...
