Does Plan-B Affect Menstrual Cycle?
Question: I started my period last Friday. The following Sunday I had unprotected sex. I took Plan B to be safe. I am on Birth control but I missed the last few pills. My period has stopped since taken Plan B. I'm wondering if I should resume my birth control or wait till I get my period again Since my period has stopped midway through its duration. I'm not sure what to do.
Brief Answer:
Pills to be started after withdrawal bleeding
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
You should start taking your birth control pills only once you get the withdrawal bleeding after plan B.
Your periods have stopped because of the hormonal influence of plan B.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
