Thread: Period longer than normal

Hi

I need some advice/something to put my mind at rest..
About 4 weeks ago I had sex without using a condom, however I am on birth control pills. This was 2 days after my pill-free week had finished. I got myself in a bit of a fluster as I'd never relied solely on the pill as a birth control method before (i.e i'd always used condoms) and so also took Plan B 2 days later to put my mind at ease. I also had an STD test which came back all clear. I then continued to finish that pack of pills and my period started like normal during the pill-free week. However, i've now started the next pack and I'm still on my period. Mine has always been like clockwork (I'm now 22, been on the same type of pill for nearly 2 years) and lasts for 5/6 days but I'm now coming up to 9 days. I also have mild cramping (but I suffer from IBS so this isn't unusual). Could this be down to taking Plan B? I've read it can mess up your next period.

Any help would be really appreciated thanks!
