Could Soreness In Breasts, Feeling Bloated Be The Side Effects Of Plan B Contraceptive Pills?
Hi, I wanted to know, I took Plan B contraceptive 24hrs after intercourse and it's been a month since I took it.. two weeks after I took the pill I got a menstrual cycle but not as my usual and I understand the pill changes your cycle so i'd take that as a sign of non pregnancy.. but now a month later, my breasts have increased a size, they hurt a scale 1-10, a 10, and friends say my body looks a little more filled in from everywhere but not by much.. Are these more symptoms of the Plan b contraceptive?

Hi, I have read your query and according to me ,you are right that menstrual cycle is a sign of NO pregnancy but that may be a missed abortion so you should get pregnancy test & be relax. If urine for pregnancy test is negative then these all symptoms are due to hormone imbalance due to contraceptive pill.
