My husband and I had sex the day after my period had finished, but may have had a slip, so I took plan B approximately 7 hours after sex. It's been two weeks and the day before yesterday I felt "like I was spotting", but didn't pay too much mind to it; however, yesterday afternoon my husband and I had intercourse, and I noticed that I was bleeding... After this I went to pee, but nothing came out, only when I wiped...
I know I'm approximately 15 days early for my next period, but this is worrying me because I've taken the pill on occasion before, and have experienced an earlier period, but have never had no bleeding at all and only during sex...
Any ideas anyone?

Hi Fitgirl,
Side effects from Plan B differ from person to person so it would be hard for us to decipher what your effect specifically is to the drug. Have you seen your physician?

The bleeding finally did stop, but after incourse there was some brown/redish spotting but nothing major, I'm now have this brown spotting which i only see when I wipe, is this a plan b side effect as well?

Hi fitgirl71,
Since the bleeding is getting lighter and you are not experiencing any pain, I would assume the affects that you are experiencing are indeed, your body's reaction to Plan B. I think seeing your doctor is a great idea to be sure about what you are experiencing and keep us posted on what he/she explains to you about your bleeding.
Good luck,

I answered this exact question on another thread, but can answer again here, too.
Emergency contraception can lead to an early or delayed period, usually about a week. If your period is two weeks early, this may be what is normal for you.
I outlined possible symptoms that you would want to call your doctor about, in regards to abnormal bleeding:
- Excessive bleeding, soaking through more than one pad or tampon per hour
- Excessive pain or unusual symptoms that are worrisome (unusual headaches, fatigue)
- Bleeding for longer than 7-10 days (usually 7 days is the maximum, but some women can bleed longer).
Keep an eye on your period, and if you are experiencing these above symptoms, a quick call to your doctor might be a good idea.

Plan B may lead to "breakthrough bleeding", which is experienced as some light spotting in-between periods. It does not cause bleeding FROM intercourse, but you may experience this breakthrough bleeding/spotting at the same time (coincidentally) while you are having sex.
Does that answer your question?
