Hi,

I am not currently on birth control but I had sex with my boyfriend and took plan b afterwards just to be safe. I took plan b the day before day 28 of my cycle, and it is not always regular, it can be anywhere between 28 to 31 days. I took the plan b on the 17th of May, and got what I hope was my period on the 23rd. I had bad cramping, bleeding similar to what I normally experience, and it lasted about 3-4 days which is normal for me. However, I am worried because I know that plan b can cause bleeding within a week of taking it, so I'm nervous that what I got was not actually my period, but a side effect, and that I could be pregnant. My question is, could I have experienced the bleeding that I did, similar to my period, and close to the time of my period after taking plan b and still be pregnant? And also, is the bleeding that women experience after taking plan b an actual period indicating that they are not pregnant or is it not? I am confused.
