Why Have I Missed My Periods After Taking Plan B?
Hello. I had unprotected sex on April 13 and took plan b on April 15. I had withdrawal bleeding for about three days starting on April 20. My last period was started on April 3 and last around 5-6 days. I haven t gotten my period yet and I m a little worried. My periods are usually 28-30 days apart. Does this bleeding mean it worked?

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. The occurrence of withdrawal bleeding after consumption of the emergency pill indicates effective function and pregnancy has not happened. The high hormone content in the pill disrupts the hormone milieu and therefore delays the next natural period by a week or two. Please see a specialist for further evaluation if you become overdue by ten days. You will need a sonogram of the pelvis preferably in the trans-vaginal route to clarify the situation and induction of a period is done to restore hormone balance. Hope this helps.
