Took Plan B two days after regular period. Started another period that lasted 6 days. It had stopped for only 3 days and now I am having another period (I am in my 3rd day of the period and it has gotten heavier) Any ideas? This would be my 3rd full cycle in less than a month.

Taking Next Choice will cause changes in your menstrual cycle.

You have upset your normal cycle by taking the pill so soon after your normal period.

I have two concerns, the heavy and prolonged bleeding can lead to anemia, and the hormonal imbalance that is causing the frequent periods.

You may want to make an appointment with your doctor for both of these concerns.
