Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
What you have mentioned are classical side effects of Plan B.
Spotting is common due to hormonal withdrawal effect.
Also, the normal period can get preponed or postponed by a week, sometimes more
The bloating and abdominal discomfort is also commonly experienced after taking emergency contraceptives.
SO there is no cause for concern.
However, generally boating and abdominal pains do not persist for a month after taking Plan B.
You could be pre menstrual .
If the symptoms persist, please see a gynecologist.
Take care
