What Causes Spotting And Stomach Cramps After Having Plan B?
Question: Hi, my girlfriend and I did not have sex; however we were afraid that i had cum on my fingers (it had a penetration), so she took Plan B pill (1.5mg) after 5 hours. After 6 days she had spotting (lasted for almost 2 days). Also she has cramps for 4-5 days already and she started feeling bloated. Its been 11 days since that. Does it mean she is pregnant or those are Plan b side effects ?
Brief Answer:
side effects of plan B
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
These are the side effects of plan B which has progesterone in doses and thus has led to withdrawal bleeding.
The cramps and bloating she had were also due to the progesterone only.
Pregnancy symptoms don't come so early so don't worry about that part.
But in future try to have safe sex so as to have a anxiety free intimate relationship.
Take care.
