Should Plan B Be Taken Despite Bleeding?

Hello, I am a 19 year old woman and I have a question. First a little background about me. I have a really irregular period. Sometimes I don't get it for two months or sometimes it comes a few days late. With that being said I had unprotected sex 2 weeks ago, and although he didn't ejaculate inside of me, I chose to take the plan b pill just to be safe. On Sunday I started bleeding and we decided to have sex again. This time he did ejaculate inside of me. I don't know if the bleeding was my period, but I am still slightly bleeding today Wednesday. Should I take another plan b pill?

Hi,
The bleeding you are currently experiencing could be either your natural period or the withdrawal bleed. Either way, you are safe and you do not need another pill now. The use of emergency pills should be restricted to once or twice a year for the real emergencies. They contain high amount of hormone and hence tend to disturb the hormonal balance of the body badly with repeated use and can cause fertility problems in future. Please opt for a regular form of contraception instead. Hope this helps.
