Can Intake Of Plan B Cause Irregular And Heavy Periods?
I took plan b after an incident on march 2nd and had a period that included heavy bleeding and cramps for 6 days straight starting March 7th. My next period was supposed to start April 1st and has not come yet. I ve taken three pregnancy tests (first response) and all were negative. During the week that I was supposed to have my period I had some mild cramping but still nothing. Please help!
Hi, Yes plan b an emergency contraceptive pill has high doses of hormones . it can cause disturbance in periods by making it either lighter or heavier and accompanied with cramps. the periods may get delayed by few days.
