HI there,
Chances are, you weren't pregnany to begin with- while there is a possibility of becoming pregnant while on your period (which is why it is ALWAYS a good idea to have protected sex- I have a preference for the pill), if you have since taken the morning after pill, you are definately not pregnant.
It's actually very normal to experience heavy bleeding with the morning after pill. The way it works, is that it forces the uterine lining to shed entirely- during a period the lining sheds gradually, and not always entirely. The morning after pill cleans out any and all tissue that's inside the uterus, so that there is no chance of pregnancy.
But it's also a pretty invasive thing to do to your body. I am a huge supporter of the morning after pill- I think that it's a brilliant invention. But I also think that it should be used as a last resort, because it's hard on a well designed system: there is a reason women menstruate once a month, and gradually over the course of a couple of days. Messing with this, messes up hormonal balances, which in turn, mess up everything else in our bodies.
SO, as I said before- if you are going to have sex, have protected sex. Then you don't have to worry about being pregnant (sex is WAY more fun without worry), and you don't have to use the morning after pill, except in cases of emergency.
Hope you aren't feeling to awful.

One more thing- if your bleeding continues for too long, consider visiting a clinic to ensure that you are okay. While I would hazard that you are still completely within the normal cycle following emergency contraception, if the bleeding remains heavy for more than two weeks, I would visit my OBGYN.
Peace. |

tHAT IS NOT HOW THE MORNING AFTER PILL WORKS, it does not work by forcing a period at all..I should know, I work in womens healthcare and am educated accordingly.
Website for plan B =)...A good source to back me up..
http://www.go2planb.com/ForConsumers/Index.aspx
THE MORNING AFTER pill works by STOPPING OVULATION, and 'possibly' preventing a fertilized egg from attatching to the uterine lining. OUR BODIES naturally excrete progestin after we ovulate, so this tricks the body into thinking that it ovulated... SO you will get a period quite quickly after using plan b.
#2 The dose of progestin DOES thin out the uterine lining, so this is why heavy bleeding is common after using PLAN B. IT IS obviously a higher dose than what our bodies would excrete naturally.. PLAN B can cause irregular spotting and bleeding after use. |
