Plan B

DH and I had a mishap on Saturday, so I took Plan B on Monday.

I am spotting lightly. Do you know if this counts as my period? I was supposed to get my period today anyway. I just need to know because I am starting a new OC and need to know when to start it.

TIA:)

Re: Plan B

  • Dont freak out! I took plan b in november i want to say within 24 hours of the mishap. i experienced pretty horrible cramps and it really messes with your period. I spotted for a few days then nothing then well lets just say it wasn't pretty! The sooner you take it after the incident the more likely it is to work. So i'd say if in a few days things still arent normal take a pregnancy test.

    I hope that helps a bit.

  • Plan B is like a "super charged" birth control pill so it will cause cramping and spotting.  It is most effective when taken within 72 hours so you should be fine!  But with that said, because you were supposed to start today AND you are starting a new mothod, I would wait until after your next normal period before you start a new method.  Use a back up method/condoms until then.  That way you can take a test just to make sure so you can then start your new OC.  And your new OC will also cause spotting and cramping for the first 3 months until your body gets used to the new hormones.
