Dear Anon,

Thank you for your post.

The bleeding was from the Plan B. That is often what happens after taking it. Plan B should only be used in an emergency. You were not at risk for pregnancy from the scenario you describe. You did not have sexual intercourse with ejaculation inside you. You and your boyfriend need to be more aware of what is going on when you are fooling around. If you do have sex, use protection.
