Q: 

Bleeding during intercourse after Plan B?

I took plan b after having sex. Light spotting occurred, then my period hit very heavy, then it went light & stopped.
About two weeks pass, I had sex again & I started to bleed minutes after, then it stopped that same day.
Waited a week because everything stopped again, no bleeding, thinking all is good, had sex again & I started bleeding during sex (today).
I don't know if anyone can help me out but I'm starting to get very worried.
Please & thank you!

Hello acapulco.boo,

Welcome to the EmpowHER community. Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern about bleeding following intercourse since taking Plan B.

This is very unusual. Please contact your gynecologist about this today. There may be a correlation to taking Plan B and the bleeding. You may have reacted to the high dose of the hormone, levonorgestrel, found in the pill. It is a man made hormone similar to progesterone, which plays a keep role in stimulating your period.

Let us know what your doctor thinks about this.

Regards,
Maryann
