I have a question about plan b, I took it about 4-5 days ago. No major symptoms yet. Slight discomfort in the stomach and back soreness but there s a bloated weird fuzzy feeling in my stomach. I haven t gotten any other symptoms. Is this feeling because of the pill? No spotting or bleeding has happened. What stomach feelings are normal?

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Yes plan B cause stomach discomfort, bloating and back pain as a side effects.
Back pain are due to tiredness.
Stomach discomfort and bloating due to high progesterone as it relax the smooth muscle of intestine.

Bleeding is due to progesterone withdrawal and it will not occur in all cases.
So do not worry all your symptoms are due to side effects of Plan B pill.
It will disappear in few days.
Just take analgesic and light diet, avoid spicy and fatty foods.
But remember, Plan B also has some failure rate (5 % if took with in 24 hour and 10-15 percent if took between 48 hours)
So if your period will be delayed by 10-12 days then go for urine pregnancy test to confirm the pregnancy. In pregnancy still you can terminate it up to 9 week by using abortion pill under the observation of gynecologist.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
