Perla,
The bleeding you are experiencing could be a period, and could be lighter or heavier; shorter or longer than usual. It could also be breakthrough bleeding, in which case you would get another period during this cycle. This is nothing to be concerned about, just that taking Plan B (or any hormonal contraceptive) changes your menstrual cycle, so this is to be expected (as long as you do not have any problematic symptoms, such as pain or excessive bleeding--soaking through several pads or tampons every hour).

Are you currently using any other form of birth control (the pill or condom, for example)? If not, and you are interested in learning about your options and what may be best for you, let us know and we can help you with information!
