Is It Normal To Experience Bleeding After Taking Plan B?

default
Posted on Thu, 13 Aug 2015
Question: My girlfriend and i had sex a few days after her period. Later that night she took a plan b. A few days ago we had sex again and noticed that she was bleeding. We are both scared. Could that be from the plan b or is it pregnancy. She has an app on her phone that said it was her day for ovulation.

Brief Answer:
In all probability the bleeding is due to Plan B

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

When did your girlfriend have her period? The first week of period cycle is safe. If you have had sex within the first seven days of she starting her period, then she will not get pregnant. This is for your information. If you had given me the date of first day of her period and the dates when you had sex I would have given a definite answer.

The bleeding you noticed is in all probability due to the Plan B that she has used.
If this bleeding has occurred around day 14 of her period cycle, then there is a small possibility that it could be due to ovulation.
The bleeding is not due to pregnancy.

I hope this helps.
if you have further queries, I will be happy to answer.
