Q: 

Plan B pill side effect?

I had my period on May 10th, and it ended on May 14th. I had unprotected sex on the 19th, and took the Plan B pill the following morning. I just started my period again on the 26th of May. The blood seems more brown and dried but yet it is red at times too.
Is this due to the pill? Or can I be pregnant? Should I wait for my next expected period to come to take a pregnancy test?

I took the pill last month and had nothing like this. So does this mean my body has reacted differently this time. I am not prepared to have a child at the moment.

Hi Anonymous,

One of the side effects of taking Plan B is a change in your period. It may not happen every time that you have taken the pill but it is a possibility. 

If your regular period is more than one week late, then take a pregnancy test. 

Best,

Rosa
