Is Bleeding Post Intake Of Plan B A Sign Of Pregnancy?

On Janurary 8th i had un protected sex. On the 8th of feb it was a month past my unprotected sex. I haven't taken a test yet to see if i am pregnant.. but i took plan b two days ago due to a unprotected sex with my boyfriend and he got worried and bought me plan b. I took it even though I was worried I may already be pregnant. I started bleeding today. Is it still possible i can already be pregnant or does that mean I am not pregnant and plan b is just doing its job??

Hi.

Plan b is not recommend for pregnant women because it changes the purpose of its use completely. Plan B is an emergency contraceptive pill that is used to prevent conception, but cannot and should not be used to terminate pregnancy. I would first recommend a visit to your doctor to get an ultrasound examination conducted to check on the status of your pregnancy, because if at all you are pregnant then you need to address that and/or nurture it and avoid using any/all medications unless your doctor decides you need it.

Best wishes.
