So my girlfriend and I had sex on january 16th and we were only going unprotected for about 30 seconds then we used a condom. She still took plan B the next day so that she can feel safe. About a week and a half later she experienced what she believed to be a heavy period with cramps. It lasted about 5 days. Today is February 9th and she told me that she's been spotting since last Tuesday. What does this mean? Any knowledge will help! I just need to calm her down
Hi Curious.
Spotting is a common side effect of Plan B. So are:
early or late periods
heavier or lighter than normal periods
bleeding
cramping
sore breasts, etc.
She took it in time. It is unlikely she is pregnant. She can always take a home test if she wants - using her first morning urine.
Hope it helps.
It could be another period. We can't tell for sure.
She IS having common side effects George. I wouldn't think that she's pregnant.
Anyone else think it could just be another period? Her first period was as scheduled so that would pretty much normally rule out the pregnancy right?
