Heavy bleeding 5 days after emergency contraceptive?
It's very normal to experience irregular bleeding after taking a Plan B. It isn't your "normal" period, rather a side effect from the medication - nothing to be concerned about at all! Your periods will return to normal soon, but it's difficult to say exactly when as everyone experiences a different time frame. Please be sure to use some form of contraception in the meantime, as you can still get pregnant even if your periods aren't regular. I would also recommend talking with a provider about starting a birth control method that's comfortable for you so that you don't have to worry about this moving forward. I hope this helps! READ MORE
