Hello
Thanks for writing to us.
After taking Plan B , it is quite normal to experience some kind of withdrawal bleeding / spotting within a few days.
This is often accompanied by nausea and cramps also.
So most probably, this is what you have been experiencing.
Please take a pregnancy test 4 weeks after unprotected sex to ensure that there is no pregnancy related event.
Take care.
