Is Vaginal Spotting Normal On Intake Of Plan B Post Unprotected Sex?
Hi I am currently not on bc. I had unprotected sex around my ovulation time and I took plan b around 50 hours after that. I started light spotting a week before my period is due and then today I started bleeding a bit more then spotting but not period like 4 days before my period is due with no cramps or normal period symptoms. Is that a normal side effect?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The use of emergency contraception can affect the menstrual cycle so it is possible that it caused the bleeding that you are noticing but you should consider a pregnancy test as well.
You can perform a pregnancy test 11 to 14 days after possible conception to check to see if you conceived.
I hope this helps
