Thread: Plan B?

Does plan B make your period come later? Is this normal? Should I take a test to see? My periods are usually never off or different from my schedule, and so I just don't know what to do.

Plan B has several times the dose of one of the chemical types that is present in regular birth control. As a result it will automatically throw your body for a loop, it will cause breakthrough bleeding, it will cause your periods to go out of sync, it will cause your body to react in ways that it does not if you take regular birth control. Because of these reasons Plan B is only to be taken in emergency situations when other forms of birth control have failed or a person chooses to have unprotected sex. The warnings of possible side effects are listed, but not all women will react in the same way. What you are experiencing is exactly what Plan B causes. It will likely take a couple months for your body to be fully back in sync with the original menstrual cycle. It is strongly recommended by doctors or nurses that you should use a form of birth control at any time you plan to engage in intercourse, be that condoms or getting a prescription for regular birth control. Taking Plan B repeatedly will mess up your cycles and will not be a pleasant experience.
