Suggest Treatment For Vaginal Bleeding After Taking Plan B

I had unprotected sex on the 16th and took plan b on the 17th (lass than 24 hours later). I bled somewhat heavy on the 24-26 but it was still lighter and shorter than my normal period. I just went to the bathroom now and noticed some bleeding starting. I just want to know what is happening and what s the possibility of my being pregnant

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Plan B pill contain high progesterone pill and cause breakthrough bleeding.
It is due to progesterone withdrawal effect.
It will occur in 50% users of plan B pill.
Bleeding will does not indicate the pregnancy.
So your bleeding is just due to side effect of the pill.
As you took pill within 24 hours, it will highly effective in preventing the pregnancy.
Your period can be delayed/earlier due to I pill
Avoid stress, take healthy diet and drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.
If period will delay by the more than 14 days then you have to think about the pregnancy.
Hope this may help you
