Is It Normal To Get Period With Cramps After Taking Plan B Pill?

I took Plan B after having protected sex ( my Boyfriend insisted that I did just incase, which is not a regular thing) and the night we had sex i had just finished my period. It was the first time i have ever had to take plan B and I took it Sunday night ( last sunday) at 8pm, we had sex that Friday at 1am. I felt fine with just a few cramps and then on Thursday i got my period. And I m wondering if that is normal Thank you.

Hello, and I hope I can help you today.

It is completely normal to have some vaginal bleeding 3-5 days after taking Plan B. The drop in hormones after the plan B leaves your system is one of the ways that it works to prevent pregnancy, and the fact that you bled is actually an encouraging sign that you did not conceive.

Your next cycle may be delayed because of the Plan B as well- i would expect your next real period to come about a month after you saw the bleeding after the plan B.

I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that this information was reassuring.

Best wishes,

Dr. Brown
