What Causes Prolonged Bleeding After Taking Next Choice?
Addi: Hi, I had sex on July 23rd and we did use a condom with no visible breaks or tears. Being paranoid, since it was my very first time having sex, I took Next Choice (Plan B s similar contraception) anyway. I got my period about 6 days later on the 29th, and today being the 8th of August, I m still having some bleeding, but it s not heavy like it was on days 1-7. It s much lighter. I m just wondering if it s normal to still be bleeding, When my periods normally last only about 6-7 days, and it s going on 11 days now. Thanks.

Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Emergency contraception may cause such prolonged bleeding.
Please dont worry.
If it lasts for more than 5 more days, please see a gynecologist.
Take care.
