Is it common to have periods once after taking Plan B and again a week later ?
Patient: I ended my period June 25. I had protected sex but found out the condom broke after he was finished so I took plan B the next morning. It s my first time taking plan B and experienced the side effects. Now, a week later I got my period again! What does this mean? Doctor: HiDr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your query, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.1)First of all do not panic.2)You have rightly taken Plan B. These emergency contraceptive pills are to be taken within 24 hours of unprotected sex act, or at least within 72 hours to be effective. 3) Withdrawal bleeding that occurs after PLan B is very erratic, It can be early or delayed , scanty or heavy. You may get some bleeding even before your expected date of periods and later on you may have your routine period also.I hope my answer helps you.Thanks.Wish you great health.Dr Purushottam S Neurgaonkar
