hey about two weeks ago me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex and he only got precumm in me but i still went ahead and took the morning after pill. well about a week or two later, i start spotting. its pretty light at frist the it would stop for like an hour then start again. This has been going on now for about four or five days. Today 9is the first day i have had cramping & it is starting to get pretty painful! Is this normal to have with the pill? !
Hi girls,
I am on my second time taking the Plan B. The stupid condom broke again.
I had to take Plan B last month too because of the condom also breaking. That was my first time taking it. After you actually take the pills, it is like you took nothing. At least for me it was - but the bad part is when you get your next period. OMIGOD!!!
Last month when I took it, my period came early - at least what I thought was my period - it was very light - I had light cramping for the first day and the light bleeding lasted for maybe four days and went away. I thought "Damn, this is nice!" Normally, my period is heavy the first two days, the worst cramps on the second days and than the cramps disappear after 48 hours and the blood goes very light so I only have to suffer for two days. A few days of no blood or cramps went by so I thought "OK, that was my period this month." WRONG! A few days after the light period stopped I got my real period and it was at least 5 times worse than my normal period.
The cramps were unbearable. Nothing works on my cramps. I pretty much curl in a ball with a heating pad and cry and moan. This "after Plan B" period was very similiar to the recovery after I had an abortion (lots of heavy blood, clots and severe cramps) except it didn't last as long but the cramps lastest longer than they would in my normal period and I had many large clots which I normally don't have with my period (I may get a small clot or too sometimes but not always).
So, I am suffering though the another "after Plan B" period right now. I didn't get the "light period" but this did come early. The cramps are really bad but the blood isn't as heavy - I haven't had any clots yet but I think last time they came on the third day and today is the second full day of blood and cramps. I am just hoping that this isn't the "false" period and that I have a "real" period coming after this ends - I doubt it - but I am crossing my fingers that this is my "real" period because I don't think I could take a second period like this. At least with my normal period - the cramps will often come and go - but not with this Plan B period - the cramps come and they rarely subside to give me a break - if anything they get worse off and on and I get stabbing pain. I am waiting for the "clot bath" to begin. It is difficult because I really don't know what to expect this time. I was hoping that it would be easier this time but - no such luck yet.
I am honestly considering going back on the pill so I don't have to deal with this again. I am almost 40 and I honestly can not wait for menopause! I will say this about Plan B - it is definatley cheaper than having an abortion so that is a pro but the side effects (if you want to call them that) don't necessarially make this the "easy way". But so far, I haven't gotten pregnant after my "accidents" and for me being pregnant and having the abortion had a lot more problems attached to it than this.

I think goign back on the pill is a good idea. Condoms do expire a lot so it's good to bear that in mind. Thanks for posting on your experience, and I hope going back on the pill works for you.
The worst thing about plan B pill is that it is said to produce the same side effects as pregnancy, making you worry all the more. The pharmacist who sold it to me told me to take it this once and never fool around anymore because it's a dangerous hormonal medicine. Really, the sex wasn't worth all the stress that came after.
I had this unprotected sex months ago, he didn't ejaculate inside, but I got paranoid because I believed I was in my fertile days. It was day 18 of my cycle, and they usually last 28-33 days. At first I was afraid of side effects like bleeding to death (no, I've never heard of that happening to anyone!) or a completely messed cycle, which would ruin me cause my mother happens to know when I get my periods. There was a low chance I was pregnant from pre-cum, but if pills ruined my cycles, mother would know I did something stupid. And no, I'm not that young, but my mother disapproves of my boyfriend, so that would cause problems. I finally decided to take the pills more than 2 days after.
I didn't have any extreme side effects at first and my period came on day 31 or 32, exactly how it was supposed to. It was normal color, not as heavy as it can get, but I considered it normal. But next one came 25 days later, which normally never happens to me. It lasted around one day shorter than usual, I think it was normal in color, but it was lighter. There was no uterine lining coming out... or however you call those brown bloody pieces of skin that come out.
I'm not experiencing any symptoms of pregnancy, but lighter periods have me worried again. And I'm too scared to take a test. Ugh.
My theory of what happened is that I ovulated normally and wasn't about to get pregnant and later I got my period normally, but the pill prevented the NEXT ovulation. But then why did I bleed? And they say these pills don't grant security in future sex...

Hey guys im experiencing the same situation as you all. So i took EC pills... very high dose of hormones... 2nd day after my period so the 7th day im sure i wasn't ovulating because my cycle is min 30 days long not even. So i took the pills 48 hours after unprotected sex and i know that he did not ejaculate. I was just worried about pre cum. I got my period on the 16th of september and ended on the 21st... took the pill on the 25th... and its the 1st of october and i started bleeding. I am not sure if this is my period of just random bleeding. Seems pretty light but cud be a period not sure... please someone let me know? is it normal to get your period 2 weeks early? Is it because of the hormones?

Since you took the pill it means that you are going to have some messed up periods for awhile. There isn't much you can do about this so just bear that in mind, okay? YOu should be fine. Let me know how you're doing, okay?
Took plan B about a couple weeks ago.. first period was light. This one is TERRIBLE, holy mother effer! I'd like to know if these huge clots are normal. Ya know when you get out of bed in the morning and you immediately run to the bathroom to "pee" it all out? Well, I did that twice today and the second time I was utterly amazed. . How much more blood do I have in there? Seriously? Are the clots normal? Or should I be worried?
Yes, that should be pretty normal although if it persists more than a day or two then you should talk to a physician as that wouldn't be normal. How long has it been persisting by this point?
Mannnn, I had unprotected sex 2 days after i took of my birth control patch so i took the plan b pill. this sounds dumb of me but 2 days later i had unprotected sex again and took the pill a 2nd time. my period was a week late so i took a pregnancy test and it was negative. the next day i began spotting and 2 days after my period came. my period was very light and painless but it lasted forever. In fact i'm think i'm still on my period. i've been on it for 2 weeks now. its not heavy its very very light but still When will it stop!!!! ohhh god. I'll never do that again. i've reapplied my birthcontrol patches because i'm supposed to weather my period is off or not. i'm not in pain but i wish it would stop. after this ends idk when i can expect my next period. i'm going to make a dr apointment.
I took Plan B the day after a condom mishap. I had absolutely NO side affects which surprised me! I usually get my period on the 1st, but started on the 15th and it was oddly heavy. Last for about a week also. That was November 15th and today is December 9th and it's at it again! Very heavy :'( I know that Plan B was supposed to mess up your cycle, but how long is this going to last?!
i know this topic is super old but around the end of August of 09i had sexual intercorse and the day after i took the pill. and its now jan '10 and still am waiting for my period. like i seen many of you also said that a couple days after you took the day after pill, you had a light period as so did i. i experienced the symptoms i normally do before i get my period (moodiness, bloating,cramping, etc.) but still yet to start. i've experienced breast tenderness to which i get really sharp pains. Im scheduled to go see my doctor for test this week. but i will say this, if i would of known that it would mess my period cycle up i would of never taken the pill and i will most def. be more careful
i took the morning after pill a week after i came off of my period. a week later i bled for 4 days. then 2 weeks after that i came on my regular period. it's normal for that to happen. it's kind of a way to signify that it is working.
Hi i took plan b and got my period 2 weeks early in my period i had a large blood clot but have a baby of 4months old so not sure if clot had something to do with that still. am now having really really bad period like pains all day everyday, my stomach is soooo bloated and breasts are really sore (am not breast feeding so cant be that!) i really dont know wots wrong wether i could be pregnant or if its side effects from plan b or from having baby!!!
hi, i took plan b the day right after my period because i had unprotected sex this was around Jan14/15 2010. i read that one of the side effects were spotting, but its like i got my period again. this started yesterday Jan20/10 i thought it was just "spotting" but it was considerably heavier today.. so is this an early period? or just the side effect cause i just ended my period like a week ago! :|
I took the plan b pill after having the condom break and about 4 days later, I began spotting. Its been exactly a week and a day and it still continues. I don't know if its my period because it is fairly a light flow than usual. Also I got my period in the beginning of this month already. Anyone have this issue?? Ive been so paranoid!
