When Should I Start Taking My Pills After Having Withdrawal Bleeding From Plan B?

I had sex on December 3 and the condom broke he didn t ejaculate in me but I was nervous anyway and took a plan b just to be safe. I took the plan b on 4th. I have irregular periods and my last one was on 11/23/2015. Thursday, December 10th I was bleed like a period, but I just had my period so I don t know if it s a side affect of plan b. I m supposed to begin birth control the Sunday after my period but I don t know if this is my actual period so i don t know if I should start taking it yet

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

The first time you had bleeding must be breakthrough bleeding. This type of bleeding normally occurs within 3 weeks of intake of a plan B pill or emergency contraceptive pill. This a normal feature of a plan B pill intake & there is nothing much to be concerned about it.
Now you should wait for your next period to come. Start your birth control pills on 1st day of menstrual bleeding. However your period might also be delayed due to plan B pill intake. Use condom until your next period.

Don't use a Plan B pill too frequently. Use condom or regular contraceptive pill as method of contraception in future. Regular taking emergency contraceptive pills can cause problems like irregular periods, ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome & even infertility.

For more queries consult a gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
